I am not sure which "NASA officials" reviewed this and I'm not trying to instigate an argument, I just want to help make thing better... so I shared the pictures of your design with our NASA director who also builds a lot, A LOT, of cages and your design is in no way, shape, or form in compliance with the harness bar / diagonal bar intersection rules. In fact, your design is similar to the non-legal roll bar designs and not the legal SCCA and NASA roll cage designs. "Must intersect" is mentioned in the CCR twice for good reason and that is not a wording that is up for interpretation.
If a car with this cage comes to Utah, it will not pass tech. My advice is that this needs to be fixed before your design is finalized vs. rolling the dice with which "official" happens to look at it.
