Default Need Recommendation on roll bar for C5 Vert

I'd like to run some NCCC hi speed events, but need a roll bar for my C5 Vert.
Any recommendations on one that will still let me use the rag top?

First check the NCCC rules and what they require. Just because you have a roll bar does not mean it will pass tech.

Some of the commercially available roll bars are not SCCA and may not be NCCC legal AND allow the top to work.

I know two ppl who put roll bars into verts. Both start with a Wolf, but then had to make extensive modifications and added extra bars to be come race compliant. It was not bolt in and go.

One can not use his top, the other can as he is 5' 4" and he sits real low in the car. Both lost their cars waterfalls and tonal covers.

Remember the roll bar must be at least 2" above your helmet too.
