    I didn't say it said no "pro" cars I mean most FIA touring cars and such don't have the same cage rules the CCR says in what you just posted.

    Did you copy that DIRECTLY FROM the CCR? It says somewhere any cars in HPDE WITH a rollover device must meet the same rules for race cars.

    Mainly this was a vent on NASA officials and such saying a ex BTCC car isn't legal for NASA competition. The photo of the cage I posted follows almost nothing you posted meaning it'd be "illegal" even though it's legal for international professional racing.

    11.4.7 says "(All cars with full roll cages should conform to the applicable sections found in section #15.0.)" then I pasted in the entire section 15 regarding roll cages...

    Research & develop continuesly changes safety devices, how they are made, and the rules regarding them so I'm not surprised a cage that was build 20 years ago wouldn't be legal to today's standards.

    Right, FIA homligation for a cage at least for a pro series car ends after a certain time I believe as well. However, it will still have an FIA homligation stamp and log book...so it seems it should be allowed to come in, just like you could run a old ERW tubed bolt in cage in a car that was log booked before whatever date stated.

    I am sure there is a way lol I was just starting a random vent on why it makes no sense. Even a current day FIA built car doesn't meet these rules.
