I'll be at the next one on the 15th! If anyone wants to partake in cutting a vent into the center of an OEM hood let me know (it is a spare hood!!)
Update to the SCCA policy
It is highly recommended that all convertible vehicles be equipped with an aftermarket roll bar that meets or exceeds the standards set in the SCCA Time Trials rules. However, convertible vehicles may participate in Track Night events provided the vehicle meets at least on of the following criteria and is not subject to any of the below exceptions:
- The vehicle is equipped with an aftermarket roll bar that meets or exceeds the standards set in the SCCA Time Trials rules.
- The vehicle is equipped with documented factory installed roll over protection (examples of manufacture documented roll over protection would include hydroformed and reinforced a-pillars or windshield frames and factory installed roll bars and/or “pop-up” bars that are designated as roll over protection.
- The Vehicle is a 2006-year model or newer.
Exceptions: In addition, vehicles that were manufactured since 2006 that fall into any of the below categories must meet the criteria stated above for factory or aftermarket roll over protection:
- Vehicles equipped with factory V8 or forced induction engine
- Vehicles modified meaningfully beyond the factory performance potential (examples: engine swaps, aftermarket forced induction)

Yes. I confirmed with them my 01 is good to go.
Nice seeing three other S2000's, one with the drive up from Corvallis! Lots of fun
Car is finally dialed in right so much better

Only mods are the project Mu's HC800, craptastic Buddy Club N+, an FIPK and no rear sway bar. However, the car felt a million times better than that horrendous day last year with the BMW club (over the fall and winter discovered a number of lose bushings in the rear and made many adjustments). Felt very balanced all over. Left very satisfied
When are you guys heading out again?

A trip ORP would be great depending on what day. I think first timers at that track would have to have instructors ride with us ? And also depending on the rules for a roll bar
