Reply to "WANTED - Roll Bar for Speedster"

I be curious: Why are you concerned (worried?) as to what happens when "two wheels leave the pavement"? Personally, I'd be happier than hell that I've still got two wheels "on the pavement."  At my age, I vividly recall early road races (OK, ...very early) at Santa Barbara airport, Bakersfield, and Palm Springs, when the Speedster pretty much ruled SCCA's F-Class with MG's their only real competition. What I don't remember is any Speedster turning turtle.  Those two wheels might have left earth on occasion, but all four...uh-uh. Hitting something - like a hay bale - or someone, was pretty common and an "ejection" every once in awhile proved fatal (seat belts weren't worth a shi# and often weren't worn)...but flipping your ride was just not a big concern. I'm thinking it wasn't until the late 60's that the roll bar became "de rigueur" when racing in SCCA competition....and that was probably most attributed to "Ambulance Followers" camping out at the tracks waiting like vultures for an easy meal.  Anyway, I digress from my original question:  Unless you hope to sneak your replica into a sanctioned race (forget it 'cause that'll never happen) that requires one, WHY do you think you really need a roll bar in your speedster? If the answer is "I think it looks cool," then for sure go for it!  Otherwise, I suggest you spend the $$ on other Speedy goodies. Gawd knows there many such accoutrements out there to put a real dent in any SOC knucklehead's wallet.
