Vert question

Hello,

Never taken my cobra to any kind of event, but I want that to change. I知 looking into attempting an autocross event in the near future... I have read online that a 4point roll bar is required. Is this true everywhere???? I have a light bar, but i知 not sure what good it値l do in a rollover.

Any help would be appreciated.

All of the autocross I have gone to have had convertibles with tops down and almost none had roll bars of any kind

You don't need a roll bar to autocross. Here's video of mine at an SCCA event last summer.

I've run my convertible more times than i can remember with nothing but a light bar. I've even done some open track events (depending on who is hosting)
