I could've swore I read it for the USCA rules but its not in there. I also thought I read in there that rear discs were mandatory too. I have been wrong before too Mike.

You are mixing American Streetcar Series rules and USCA together. USCA requires a harness for the fastest group, no bar or cage requirements. American Streetcar has some cage and brake rules which are pretty poorly planned out.

Only thing I found on the website was that they are mandatory on convertibles and allowed on other cars. If your car is fast enough to be competitive for this event you probably should have a cage...
Sounds like the national challenge event is by invitation only, car must have been displayed at SEMA and you have to be a member of their insider club and display their advertising on your car.

You don't need a cage to be competitive. Just have good three point belts, or a harness properly mounted.
I like the "insider club" comment. That's funny...

Well, by throwing SEMA in there, they have the ability to keep it an invitation only, and maintain its "ultimate" status. The whole point of the USCR is to EXCLUDE average cars that most of us would have so we look at them in inspiration instead of thinking "mine is better."
"insider"?, we need to think more "chump car", those guys have fun and care little about "inside", "elitist" or "invitation", etc. The problem arises when safety is the issue, as that can be a deal breaker for some, but a cover for the terms mentioned above, and since it is not possible to ever be too safe, a line has to be drawn, and if ever a bad outcome occurs, everybody is impacted.
Also I think no performance rules for an initial event is wise, other then safety. If this is about being the fastest, my thinking this is not the right get together for you. 
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
