| Short Description | Replace the term "roll bar" with "main hoop" |
| Applicable Regulatory Document | General Competition (GCR) |
| Type of Rule Change | Modification |
| Affected Section | 16.1.1.1 |
| Current Regulation | 16.1.1.1 The top of the roll bar shall be at least 5.08 cm (2") above the top of the competitors’ helmet or as close to the roof as possible. The top of the roll bar shall be no more than 25.4 cm (10") behind the competitor's helmet when the competitor is in the normal driving position. In the case of open cockpit cars without a windshield frame, the top of the front hoop may be under, but as close to the height of the front cowling as possible and be above the top of the steering wheel. It should be possible to draw a line connecting the front and rear hoops and have it pass above the driver's head when seated in the normal driving position. |

| Reason for Rule Change | This is the terminology used by SCCA for roll cages and will help to separate the CACC roll cage rules from the roll bar rules. |
