Track Night - America: Couldn't complete signing up. S2000 bounced as a convertible. I sent a message requesting waiver.

Integlspwr: Nothing is ever inexpensive. The Safety Track event at $250 is pretty reasonable and about 2 hours closer to you than Lime Rock. I figure at least $375 per event. That's less than a hefty traffic ticket and a day in court and you can drive as fast as you want all day long with all the cars going in the same direction.

What he said. Also look up the regional chapter of the SCCA close to you. Autocross is cheaper and a good way to get a fix.

Jeff - I know of at least one other S2000 that signed up that doesn't have a rollbar. Did the site not allow you to register?

Jeff says he wasn't allowed to register and that he reached out to them about getting a waiver. Track is Lime Rock and for the event for which we registered.

Why didn't we get bounced from the event ?

I am confused - I have never had a problem with my stock S2000 at LRP, so why now ?

I was trying to register thru the SCCA Track Night in America website. After I put in my details and indicated that I was bringing a Honda S2000, the website bounced me as having an ineligible car. Linked to convertible policy, indicates a 2006 or later convertible with factory roll over protection was OK, but not earlier. But I got bounced without indicating the year of my car. There is an "Ask Jack" link, and I asked for a waiver, noting that I had tracked the car at Lime Rock and elsewhere on many occasions.

Now I remember they did have something to add about convertibles having to be 2006 or over.

I think Greg may also know someone that he can reach out to.

I remember that day rather well. We met Mike Fries, the instructor/NASA Racer with his S2000 CR. There was snow on the track when we got there, but they cleaned it up and we ran a full day. If I remember correctly, they walled of a section of the Uphill with cones as there was icing on that section from snow melt.
