1 5/8 x.095 DOM tubing, is it NASA legal?

My car weighs 2450lbs (HC1).

 

I know 1 5/8 x.095 DOM tubing is not listed in the NASA CCR but a few cage builders in the area say they use it in a lot of race cars they build cages for.

 

So I just want to clarify, is it legal? yes or no?

 

thanks

Well, I'm not empowered to say yes or no, but...

 

The CCR specifically says "Minimum tubing size for the roll cage is:" ...for 1501 to 2500 lb cars, 1.5" x .095"

 

Since you meet the wall thickness requirement, as well as have a 'greater-than-minimum' diameter, I personally would say that your cage meets the rules as outlined in the CCR.
