Tom, according to the rule book it’s not legal although many racers use it. My personal belief is they use it so their roll bar doesn’t get scratched. The rule book sez…. Roll bar must be padded anywhere drivers helmet may contact it while in driving position…Adequate padding must have a minimum 1/4 inch compression or meet SFI spec 45.1…All cars 9.99 or quicker SFI spec 45.1 is mandatory…. It’s my head so I like Roll bar padding just in case THINGS go upside down …..
