Correct me if i'm wrong, I think all cusco cages are illegal on track ... So to answer that part of your question, no, you don't need a roll cage to go on the track.

 

come back to cali already!! steve!! let me know mang! im crying coz of my truck!! lol

 

unless you are going to competition level, stock is good to go

 

yea i would eventually like to compete but for now im not good enough so if stock is good the awesome cuz here in missouri there is a lot of bmw club races and crap and i cant join in because they dont allow convertables...

 

I don't think they're necessarily "illegal". It's just that if you were going to a track that did require aftermarket rollover protection, the cusco bar/cage wouldn't be up to the required standard/certification.

 

None of the aftermarket bar qualifies as being legal everywhere. The Hard-Dog bar is only approved in SCCA Solo2, which most of us have nothing to do with.

I been to every track in CA/NV and this is my expereince regarding roll bar / safty equipment.

None of the track requires you to have an aftermarket roll-over protection on a S2. This means, you can run the tracks with the stock roll hoops and oem 3 pt. seat belt.

You can use the cusco/safty21/hard-dog roll bar if you use the stock 3pt. seat belt.

If you decide to use a 5/6 pt. harness with your roll bar, NASA "may" not let you run due to the hight of the shoulder harness bar. (both Kel and myself have been told by NASA that the harness bar needs to be lower)

For any other HPDE organization (Speedventures, Redline), you can run the harness with your roll bar.

Oh.. and NASA Norcal Chap. requires you to run with the top down.

Edit: "Top Up -> Down"

 

you mean top "down"

 

Opps. Correct: Top Down.

 

yea i wish i had a hard top....because top down is killin my aerodynamics
