Dave,
I believe that the "frame" rule relates to the actual frame of the
car, not the roll bar or roll cage structure. In other words, the frame is
what the suspension, engine drive train, and roll cage/bar structures are
attached to. The roll cage/bar structures are safety assemblies attached to
the car's frame.
