There was a major Miata rollover incident two weekends ago that initiated a rule change at VIR (Virginia International Raceway www.virclub.com). If anyone has booked the Car Guys event for October 13, 14 & 15, you will not be allowed to run unless you have an aftermarket roll structure installed. And since there is no sanctioning body approved roll structure available (save a full cage), it

 

Man! This sucks! I was just getting ready to go down there?

How will this effect Summit Pt??

 

Yes, it is true.

Just talked with VIR and S2000s are out except for highway speed lapping on VIRClub member days.

 

Well there is Mugen's cage. And one guy in Houston that can have a roll bar built for you - which mounts into the stock holes, so no cutting or drilling required - it runs ~$550.

this thread has pictures of the silver/red S2000 in Houston.

Giampiero has one coming out but I think it might be another month or two before it ships to customers.

 

Here's the original thread of SilverAP1's rollbar fabrication.

VIR is pretty tight, for the viper I had to have a helmet and either a rollbar/cage or the hardtop on (note, hardtops are available for the s2k and you might be able to run them at VIR with the hardtops on, but that is a big expense...).

 

Hardtops are not an acceptable substitute for an approved S2000 rollbar at VIR.

The clip-on or hardtops will shear off --- and present a larger problem such as peeling your head off --- in the event of a rollover.
