I found this on the M4 board:

The bar can unbolt and hinge to allow track tires to fit

Hey Fab,

BK got back to me last eve.

I had asked if their bar for the F87 platform hinges like the F80/82 bar.

They said it currently doesn't.

So I asked if they could make one for me.

I'll keep you in the loop and maybe we can setup a group buy..

Thanks for the Info. I don't necessarily need it to be hinged but that's something could be desired in the future. So currently they offers the f87 bar but non-hinged?

After trading Emails from BK. the M2 setuo is not hinged.

You just need to take 2 more bolts off to make room for rims/tires...

Whos possibly in on a Group Buy?

I have a note into BK asking for clarification on this..

If I remember NASA rules you need at least 1/2 cage over a certain HP in a certain class.......

Nope. HPDE and TT don't require a cage (4 or 6point), but if you have one it has to conform to the CCRs. A harness bar is not a cage.

There's nothing in the rules about harness bars, that I can find.

Interesting since I remember NASA requiring a cage if your HP weight ratio was above "X". This was in a class the a modified EVO X would have run in..

I've read the CCRs front to back a few times this spring Haven't seen anything about it.

We also have a C7 ZR1 and a McLaren 720 that run TT here, full OEM interior; no cage etc.

looking forward to seeing pictures, too. I asked BK for some pictures months ago, never got a reply.

This was another option I was looking at, but it doesn't appear that they are being made any more.

Yes, seems like a price difference, compared to vivid. Maybe a difference in shipping?

KHAP,

The BK bar is popular with the Vette & P Car crowds.

Solid safe bar to use 6 points with..

Most harness bars are crap and just for show...

From BK:

It is legal as long as you are running in Sport, Tuner, or Max category (safety level 1).
