S2000 approved by BMW club
I know in the past many of us had problems signing up for HPDE/track days and here is some welcome good news. Greg is an organizer there (also a instructor) and happens to be an Intel employee also. So, I spoke to him and provided details about our car and he sent me an email that they have officially added the info about S2000 to their site:

Abhi,
Norm and I went back and examined and reworded our policy to be more clear. See below. Yes a S2000 would be welcome at our events.
-greg
We allow open cars with structural and/or factory roll protection to run at our events (e.g. 4 point rollover protection or cage, factory rollover protection or safety systems).
Examples of vehicle with factory protection systems are: BMW Z3 (2000 and newer), Z4, 1 and 3 Series (E46 and newer) Convertibles, Porsche Boxster and Cabriolet (996/997), Audi TT Roadster, Honda S2000 and Ferrari 360/430 Spider.
We do not allow convertibles without rollover protection to run.
=================
So, good for us and hope more S2000 owners sign up. I am planning to sign up for two HPDE classes this year.
Thanks,
Abhi
