We’ve been in contact with the track since it happened.

dan, I have no idea what type of validity this holds as it is only one club that has this rule, buuuuuttt, the club that I was going to do some track days with has a rule about convertibles. You cannot race a convertible without a cage. AND, the cage has to be constructed such that if they run a broom stick from top of windshield to the top of cage, that there has to be at least 1 inch of clearance between broomstick and your helmet. That is basically impossible to do to a miata and still keep a top on the car. Dunno if any other clubs have that rule, but it is something to look into. ---

which club is that? of the clubs that care, a roll bar that passes a broomstick is almost always enough. ---

> [@theblue](#): > > which club is that? of the clubs that care, a roll bar that passes a broomstick is almost always enough. its a club in NC. How the hell would a miata pass the helmet rule with a tall person? The helmet would probably be above the windsheild itself, let alone a cage to clear it by an inch, and putting the top back up. I don’t even know if any other clubs have that rule(I know onyxsyndicate does not), but if you ever want to broaden your horizons, you would want to look into other club rules to be sure. I now have to find other clubs to do VIR events with because of this. ---

That really sucks. It’s sad to hear about the accident, but I hope that it doesn’t also effect the operation of the racetrack. ---
