VIR Track Weekend
That looks like a real fun event.
VIR is my favorite track. There should be a big turnout for this one.
If I still had my FC,I'd be all, over this but I'm too funny about my S to put it on the track. I did let both my sons know about it and I'm sure one of them will show up.

dont forget vir requires oem hardtop or rollbar to run there

EDIT: I just looked on their website and found this:
Convertibles must have a roll bar which passes the broomstick test or have a hard top in place.
Unless the maufacturer's owners manual says your convertible will support itself by the windshield frame in the event of a roll over(ala: Porsche Boxster and Honda S2000), your convertible needs a roll bar. The broomstick test reveals clearance for your helmet clad head while sitting in the driver's seat with a broomstick" (or similar device) set atop the roll bar and the windshield frame. Your helmet clad head must have clearance under the broomstick. Personally with any convertible, or hard top for that matter, a roll bar is a good idea even with a convertible hard top in place.
So according to this we would be able to race without a rollbar or hardtop. Hooray!!!

Unfortunately, I believe you are quoting MVP's FAQ section. If you review there registration page you will see a highlighted note that VIR requires all convertibles to pass the "broom-stick" test. This is a VIR rule so MVP must comply.
Contact Vivid Racing or Hard Dog if you need a roll bar. I hope you'll join us for the on-track fun.

Im a little confused. Last time I checked, my S2000 had roll bars in it. I know that this is at a track, but the S2000 has a 5 star roll over rating according to the NTSB.
I would respect VIR's rules if I went, but Virgina is a little far for me to go.

Ok, I have a Cusco roll bar. Yeah I know its not approved for the track and all, but if it passed the broomstick test with me in there, could I still run even though it's not an approved roll bar?

You'll note on our (www.MVPTrackTime.com) registration page the necessity for a roll bar for the S2000 at a few tracks including VIR.
