Anybody pulled the sport hoops off yet?

I was skimming through the SRT service manual last evening. My impression is that it is not nearly as information-rich as previous editions. I noted that the mini-rollbars above the seats are easily removable. Access to the 2 bolts/hoop is through the same area where the 5-pt. shoulder harnesses attach. Looks like a piece of cake for someone with a tubing bender to crank out some extended pieces and tie them together with diagonal bracing. Whether or not they would fit under the top is another story...

I also noticed that the anti-sqat and anti-dive geometry is substantially revised, both front and rear. The wishbones would appear to have a much wider base between the pivots than the Gen2 cars' units. Factory alignment settings are very close to the Gen2 cars. A little less rear caster is the most notable difference.

When members got to use the cars at VOI did they have roll bars on? If we go to a national event or a zone rendezvous, do you think we will have to have roll bars installed in order to join in on the auto cross etc.?
