I'm not one for being over regulated, and don't like authority any more than the next guy, but I have to disagree with the statement that roll bar, or any other safety gear makes any person or vehicle LESS safe to drive around on the street. If its all done properly and you know how to operate it (5pt harness for instance) it all works to protect you.
I run at NED and tech is strict in my opinion. They check everything on my car and the sheet of paper I have all the expiration dates of SFI equipment. I think it's good they do that based on some of the junk I see.
