Ron, regarding that "common" drawing from two posts above, what is the point of diminishing return regarding lowering the triangulation from the door entry?

in other words, how low can it go, mostly you want the safety first, but entry dynamics come into play from the pro-touring vs racing side. I've seen alot of them run parallel to the running boards, which only help, i believe, in torsional rigidity, but not rollover protection. Is that part of the cage designed to help keep the main hoop from crushing?

I noticed its at the height of the harness bar, how much lower can it go while still retaining most of its integrity, while still being able to climb in ok (think wifey). 90% of my car is built for street, but track 10% of the time, i dont want to sacrifice safety, but ????? how low can it go?

thanx, Mike
