5 point [Confused]
Also its a roll bar, if it were a cage you would be enclosed in it.
I think you want a 4 point with the crossbrace- http://www.maximummotorsports.com/autopower.asp

What is the reason you want a roll-bar? If it's to be legal for the track the 4 point will do nothing for you.

Actually, a 5 point is NHRA legal as shown in DementedGT's picture though nobody does just the driver's side doorbar. Most companies sell 6 point rollbars (doorbars both sides) but if you just want to install one side you are OK from a legal standpoint.

It sounds like you would be better off going with a 6 point with pull-out door bars, that way when you're driving on the street you can take the door bars out (that's what I have in my Mustang). I would try Maximum Motorsports for that application (whatever you do, make sure you get the bar welded in & bolted in) If you can't find the application you're looking for, I can build you a roll bar (or install one you purchase).
