Cab at HOD events?

I have done a search and cannot find any info on this. I want to try my TTS (PDK) at the track with Hooked on Driving. I understand I would be limited to Groups A/B. I dont understand the vert policy and specifically, "factory rollover protection". Do they require rollover loops or are they speaking of traction control?

I have tried but have not received a response. I have spoke with others this morning that confirm "roll over protection", as defined by HOD, is traction control.

This seems very strange. I have run a cab in HoD (yes limited to A and B groups). The factory roll over is the pop up roll hoops which deploy in the event of a roll over (or near roll over). I have never heard anyone consider traction control to be related to preventing rollover. A likely rollover scenario is exiting the track sideways in some form then having the tires dig in and thus the car rolls, traction control would no roll (so to speak) in preventing a rollover such as this. There are numerous other ways obviously.

I received my answer direct from HOD. Verts are allowed with mechanical rollever protection, ie., loops.
