For future reference - are stock S2000s (sans rollbars) allowed at Drivers Edge events? I broomstick tested myself and I don't come close to passing, even without a helmet. With a broomstick on the windshield, it's on top of my head with a good 3" above the rear roll hoops.

approved aftermarket roll over protection that is 1” higher than the driver's helmet
while seated in a normal seating position.

The full policy:
My reading of this (especially the bolded part) is that even factory rollover protection (like the S2000) has to pass broomstick as well.
All Convertibles are required to have either OEM/Factory Rollover Protection or
approved aftermarket roll over protection that is 1” higher than the driver's helmet
while seated in a normal seating position.
A simple Height Test involves taking a broom stick and level attached to the broom stick and laying the broom stick on top of the vehicle's "Rollover Protection" while level and seeing that you are an inch below the broom stick while in a normal driving position with your helmet on. Note: in some cars the windshield frame (A pillar) is reinforced factory roll over protection. (see below)
Details on Rollover Protection:
Double and Single Roll Hoops, Factory POWER Hard Tops, "A" Pillar Rollover Protection and Factory Rollover Protection Systems (Pop-Up Roll Bars) are all approved as long as they are "factory documented rollover protection" and are above the height requirements. (see above) Note: single side rollover hoops are only allowed if the driver is solo approved by Drivers Edge and does NOT have a passenger.

if youre a large and or tall fella or lady. I would try out the BYS lowered seat rail for the factory seat. I really do think you will gain 2"+ maybe more.
