Knee bars are usually the easy way out for the cage builder. There is nothing in the rules that says where the placement of the cross bar is. The best and safest in a touring car is behind the dash. If you have a bar below the steering column you run a good chance of busting you knees in a frontal impact. It’s a hell of a lot more work but for door to door racing with a 4000 lb CTSV Cady we think it’s worth it.
My car has a knee buster bar in it but I bought the car that way. It is higher than the cup car but I still don’t like it below the column. I figure it will be ok for NASA TT. My cage is very similar to the cup car but with some improvments. There is no way I would race door to door with it.

Well done, what are your thoughts on door bars with these cars.
