auto x dosen't care about roll bar height or if it is welded together or not but for road racing it would not be allowed.?Speeds in a auto x should not get to a speed where a roll bar would have to substain a tremendous load.? In road racing the worry is that the graft would break off or bend forwards or back making the lower roll bar the true height of the roll bar.?I've only done a few national auto x events in a 82 red devil with a grafted roll bar nothing was ever said.? look to the gcr.

I'm not sure if it is legal or not, but he was running the car in the DC Region with no problems and I've competed in several regions in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and no one has questioned the rollbar.
