I'm interested. Haven't been at PIR, only autocrossing. Is there going to be instructors to teach us how to drive or is just a track day? Would love to learn the full potential of the s2000. The only other thing is that I don't have a roll bar and did't see anything about it being required, but I do have a hardtop would that be okay?

I think you will be fine. I would just send the organizer an e-mail if you can't find out for sure. I bet they let factory roll hoops go for the boxsters. They will have instructors. I like to have an instructor at least for part of the day and i have been at PIR 6 or 7 times now. It is getting full so I would sign up quick.

From their website: http://www.oregonpca.org/
contact Don Clinkinbeard, DE Chair at 503 970 4848 or email at drcbike@comcast.net.
Try calling or e-mailing that guy.

Off-Topic but I love your qoutes in your sig s2kpdx01

I have a whole list of Chuck Norris "facts" that are hilarious.

One of my favs is "Chuck Norris likes to knit sweaters in his free time. And by "knit", I mean "kick", and by "sweaters", I mean "babies""

One of my other favs is "Pinatas were invented in an attempt to get Chuck Norris to stop kicking the people of Mexico. Sadly this backfired, as all it has resulted in is Chuck Norris now looking for candy after he kicks his victims"

Sorry for the off-topic but I just had to

I heard somewhere that the top of your helmet needs to be below the top of the roll hoop for it to be allowed. Is this correct? Tall people

I would call and ask them. I ordered my biffe predator on-line after test fitting at a local race shop. I know dick move, but it was $100 cheaper. You can usually rent helmets at these track days so you might call the guy I linked above and ask.
Thanks I emailed them and I'm just waiting for their reply. Just curious I notice that the DE day (5/24) is part of the Porsche club, how many S2's come out? Any other cars? Do I have to be a member of some club or pay my $135 and I'm in?
