^^^^Just have to be sure to check with your insurance company to verify. There are still enough compainies out there that DO cover you in the event of an incident that they are easy enough to find. I feel comfortable because my agent stays up on these issues and since he does driver education events I am sure he will let me know in the event of any changes.

I personally would view these things as benificial as an insurance company. It gives guys a chance to drive their cars closer to the limit, while in a safe environment, all with the feedback from an instructor. I know I have became a ton better driver and am 100 times more aware and in control now than before. Plus to be honest, after a weekend at an HPDE I really have no desire to push my car on the street. A company is multiple times more likely to have a claim from a driver lacking the awareness that you get from these events, or some idiot blowing off some built up testosterone while on the street, and these incidents are more likely to end up with injuries and law suites.

You are from Cincinnati, my guy is in Toledo, if you are interested I can provide you with his information

I've heard from a guy who's chopped S2000 apart to sell parts before and he said S2's windshield frame is extremely strong and was almost impossible to chop it up.

I thought maybe the guy hit his head on the latch or the part of the windown frame that looks to have come inside of the car, but the cut is on the wrong side. Was it caused by his head hitting the support in the top? Either way it seems that top down is the way to go if you are going to roll these things. Any idea how it happened?

Edit: just noticed that there is a little explination as to how it happend on the last page of pics. Not sure that I would want to hit a deer in an S2k, but damn would not want to flip trying to miss.

unless you got an AWD version of the S2k you don't have front axles
