Default Anyone Here Interested?

I am thinking of doing this event in HPDE 1.

This is a new facility located just a little east of the Roanoke Rapids/Weldon area.

https://www.nasaproracing.com/event/1008


In anticipation of the next question. Our S2000 roll hoops will get us on the track. This is the note form the regional NASA director.

"Here is Jim Pantas' (regional director) reply:

We generally ask that the owner of the car get a letter from the manufacturer as to the viability of the bars for rollover. Honda has provided us with letters to that extent for the S2000. We do require that the driver and/or passenger not extend over the rollbars' height to safely protect them from rollover. The "broomstick" test is generally the method we use to verify that you will be safe in the event of a rollover. Check with us to verify what years/models that we have letters for, if we do not have a letter for your particular model year then you'll have to provide us with one.

With that said, as of this date the stock rollbars for Honda S2000's are valid at all tracks that NASA-SE will be at during the 2010 season, but as with all things liability related - it can change at any time.

What I would HIGHLY STRESS is that anyone contemplating taking their convertible on track get some type of serious rollover protection, over and above what the CCR's call for."

My son is registered for HPDE 4 with his FC.

Please post up and maybe we can get a caravan together.

Do you have an aftermarket roll bar? You wont pass the broom stick test with a helmet on with the stock hoops. I am 5' 6" and with my helmet on I am brushing the underside of the soft top.

I am not that tall 5' 11" on a good day and there is no way my head with a helmet on would pass the broom stick test.

If this is your first event HPDE 1 is where you will be.
