Please post if you find a good solution. I'm in the same boat, and wanted to do the Dragon hill climb a couple of years ago, but safety steward said no way with OEM roll hoop.

The GCR requires forward and aft bracing as I recall, and if you look at the OEM bar closely it is well braced, but to meet the GCR, it looked like the bracing would have to go over the top of the engine cover and penetrate the rear cowling. I'm just not willing to hack-up my car, so please let us know if you find another option.
