Like nearly anything else in the world, if you have the will....there is a way.
An experienced fabricator can extend a roll bar and SCCA will never know it has been extended....a little cutting, a little sleveing and rosette welding and a little grinding and smoothing and a roll bar can grow several inches as necessary and look like it has always been that way as a single piece of tubing. It will probably be even stronger than the originally constructed bar as parts of it will be double walled. With shoddy fabrication it will look like crap. The 'Tall man' kit that Enterprises applied to the SRF's was absurd way to solve the problem with those cars.
