Default 2005 S2000 at Track Night in America event?

I posted over in Racing and Competition, but thought I'd try here since it seems to be more frequented.

Can anybody confirm for me if my 2005 either does or does not qualify for running in a Track Night in America event? Unfortunately it would be very easy if I had a 2006 based on the guidance, but I'm not sure if the S2000 meets the requirements of:

1. Convertible vehicles up to and including the 2005 model year must have rollover protection meeting one of the following criteria:

A. Documented factory installed roll over protection. (Examples of manufacturer-documented roll over protection include hydroformed and reinforced a-pillars or windshield frame and factory installed roll bars and/or “pop-up” bars that are designated as roll over protection.)


Can anyone verify I can run? It is not at VIR or NJMP which I understand have additional rules.

Thanks!

I posted in your other thread about this. There are 2 tracks they run at that DO require them. There are two others that have different tech sheets but it is not as clear. Email jack@tracknightinamerica.com to ask for the one you are going to sign up for.

VIR looks like it does require them per their tech sheet. "A Proper ROLLBAR (required on all convertibles)"
NJMP looks like it does as well "Convertibles must have permanent rollover protection as mandated by Chapter 62 race track regulations. Driver and all passengers must pass the broomstick test with helmet on."

Also, link to the tech sheets is here
