One more cage question.....

[Fastfred92]

Just to make 100% sure I am legal would a cage setup using left and right X bars in the door openings augmented with one "Nascar" door bar protruding into the doors meet both the 07 GCR and the door gutting regs?

I believe the answer is yes

As long as the NASCAR bar and the long bar of the X were made of either the Min. spec'd tube or (RN's correct me if this changed recently) the same size tube as used in the hoop.

So, if its a traditional 3 bar X, no using 1.00x.023 tube for the NASCAR bar

Lets try to make this more interesting, I make a cage ( mandatory bars ) out of 1.75 .095 and make the one Nascar bar and one of the X bars out of .095 and the other X bar (the two part bar) and the supports for the Nascar bar out of 1.75 .065........... Still legal ? ( meets two bars rule, and the mandatory parts are correct tube )

As long as the 2 REQUIRED elements of the cage are legal size and wall thickness, you are legal. And in spite of the frequent rules nerd assumption that an x is illegal--remember that a bolt in can be three piece door bars with sleeves and be legal. Only bar speced as continuous is main hoop. Kick your x into the door cavity and you are good to go. Flame away!!
