Yeah, if I understand the general rules I looked at online, it appears that all cars must have at least a 5-point roll bar which includes a driver side bar. So, I assume that a good 6-point will strengthen the body / frame enuff for 11 or 12 sec Stocker duty.

Found this info in section 20, page 20-21 under "4:10 Roll Bar" There is an illustration on page 21.
