6.12. Door Safety Bars
In addition to meeting all of the CCR specifications the roll cage in a CMC car must meet the
following additional specifications. At a minimum at least two door safety bars must be used on
the drivers side, and one door safety bar on the passenger side. The door window glass, window
operating mechanism, armrest, map pockets, door panel, and inside door latch may be removed
from both doors. The outside door latch mechanism may not be removed or modified. The
trimming or removal of the inner door panel (metal) structure and/or the removal of the OEM side
impact beam is only allowed on the driver’s side if the roll cage incorporates at least two National
Association of Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) style door safety bars, which must extend to the
outer door skin, and on the passenger’s side if the roll cage incorporates at least two door safetybars


the red section is crossed out on the rules page for NASA any one have any info?

6.12. Roll Cage and Door Safety Bars
In addition to meeting all of the CCR specifications the roll cage in a CMC car must meet the following additional specifications. At a minimum at least two door safety bars must be used on the drivers side, and one door safety bar on the passenger side. Gutting of the door beyond what is solely necessary to fit cage bars is allowed. However, removal of the OEM door impact beams is only allowed if door bars extend out towards the door skin on the driver's side, and on the passenger side if a minimum of two door bars are used.
not the same as what you posted, excluding the red section.

in my opinion best is to:
add nascar bars on drivers side, gut the door & remove crash bar.
add two bars on pass side, gut the door & remove crash bar.
if you won't have issues making weight, leave pass side crash bar in.
