- - roll bar (https://classracer.com/classforum/showthread.php?t=80238)

can the roll bar /cage go through the firewall and extend into frnt suspension , strut tower area in stock eliminator ? I did not think this was legal in stock , but was at a div. 1 race and saw this on a couple cars .

With what Stock Eliminator has become I'm all good with this, just put the damn battery in the trunk!

Yep

There was a rule change a few years ago.

2021 rule book "front braces may not extend in front of firewall"

Just go to STOCK rules, section 11A, on page 10 in the FIREWALL section and you will have the specs/info/answer to your question regarding the front tubes.
Keep on,

Not applicable if you have a roll cage.
