There's a track day event and you decide to go, no roll bar so you can't play - why is that?
Some tracks require instructor seat time 1st, no passenger roll bar, go home - why is that?
According to some, roll bars have nothing to do with safety (or increasing a level of safety), but I can't connect the dots as to why so they need to elaborate a little more. Why are these dual roll bars so popular on many sports cars, a factory installed item, and required for recreational track days?
