Wondering, to be legal for E-Mod, if you have a fixed roof coupe, do you have to have a roll bar?  Is there some sort of exception for non-convertable/chopped cars?  (Running DOT tires also, I know that makes a diffrence for some of the other rules in the class.)  Or are the roll bar rules aimed move at the verts?

Here's the applicable rules section: 

3.3.2 Roll Bars
Roll bars or roll cages are strongly recommended in all cars. A roll bar meeting the requirements of Appendix C, or a roll cage meeting the requirements of Section 9.4 of the General Competition Rules (GCR), is required in all A, B, C, and F Modified vehicles, and all open cars in Prepared Category and in D Modified and E Modified.  The intent of this requirement is that all open cars using racing slicks must at a minimum have roll bars which meet Appendix C, regardless of Regional variations in category definitions and/or preparation allowances.

To directly answer your question, rollbars are not required for E-Mod cars with a fixed roof.  What tires you're actually running doesn't affect the rollbar rule - only what tires you're allowed to run.
