Default Roll bar in my TCS Miata

Does anyone feel that putting the SCCA Solo 1 legal roll bar in my Miata gives me an unfair advantage running in C Stock? I will be leaving it out this coming weekend for Lovelock and only be competing in Solo 2 on Saturday, but I have to install the bar before my next track day, which is the 23rd at Thunder Hill. That means it will be installed for the final weekend at Stead. Now, from what I can tell, there is a slight gain in chassis stiffness from the 4 point bar that may or may not be offset by the weight penalty. I do not intend to attempt to determine whether its favorable to add or not add the bar for Solo 2- I simply can't leave it off any longer than this weekend, so I wanted to know if any of you object or if I should just plan to straight to TCSP for the last event weekend (thus giving me 4 different PAX factors this season ). If nobody here has an issue with it, I'll make sure to notify all the street tire participants present on saturday of my intentions too.

Additionally, I'm already planning on moving beyond C Stock next year, so this question is only relevant for the last 2 events this season. There's a good chance that my points from that weekend will affect the trophy standings for street tire, so I'm looking to avoid any potential issues with that.
