S2000 CR Club Racer Edition CR stands for "club racer," conjuring up the good old days when guys drove their sports cars to the track, raced them, and then, if the racing gods were smiling, drove them home again

Top on or off for track day?

I like the instant 40 lbs saving n extra head room, but how is aero affected? How do you ride at the track?

Either way is fun and very different from the other. Some tracks want the hardtop on because they think it is safer.

Short twisty non high speed tracks = no hardtop

Fast high speed tracks = hardtop

Just my opinion.

SOW = no hardtop AOK
BW = no hardtop AOK
Big Willow & ACS = hardtop would mean better times however no hardtop means you can hear crazy wtfbbq exhaust note on the cement walls.

I keep my hardtop on for Pacific Raceways (hit approx. 120 mph on the front straight). But then again...I've only had the top off 2 times since I've owned the car...
