Default Factory Roll Hoops at Calif. HPDE Events?

Which California HPDE event organizers will allow you to run an S2000 with the factory roll hoops?

NASA?
SpeedVentures?
Who else?
Does anyone require aftermarket 4-point rollbar?

I'm not talking about w2w club racing, obviously a full roll cage is required for that.

Speedventures is fine with the stock rollbars, NCRC requires you to pass the broomstick test (top of helmet must be under the imaginary line going from the top of the A-pillar to the top of the rollhoop.) Not sure about NASA?

Thanks. NASA SoCal allows factory roll hoops, not sure about NASA NorCal.

NASA require that you run with the soft top down so that you do not become a human popcicle.

Track Masters Racing only allows stock S2000s in beginners and intermediate. You have to have a 4 point / harness / race seat to run in the Advanced or Open groups (which I think is totally reasonable and probably should be the norm).


Everyone else is pretty laid back about it but you will occasionally be asked to pass the broom stick test which is nearly impossible in stock trim.

Thanks. I believe in safety equipment and will be getting a 4-point rollbar with properly mounted harness bar, racing seat and 6-point harness, over the next few months. But I want to get the car out there on track right away, before I get all the safety equipment installed.
