The rules permit bends in the tubing that meet the standards for bend radius. My KIRK cage has the horizontal bar mounted with a bend on each end. The seat and cage are as far back on the floor as is possible and yet allow the feet of tubing to be welded to the floor fully. I suspect that there might be an issue with using NHRA style bars- so my suggetion is to have the horizontal mounted so that it is a solid piece going from end to end with bends on the ends meeting accepted standards. This will also give you a location for the required harness assembly and the height of the bar will be set based on the seat and harness location relative to the driver. The GCR has a good view of this as does the SImpson catalog.
