you might be able to run at summit without a roll bar with some organizations (up to each organization and it's a judgment call). Trackdaze last year let someone run - but instructors still have the right not to run with you.

Spend a couple hundred bucks and get track pads. You will be able to stomp on the brakes as hard and often as you like and not have to wonder if you will be able to stop.
Any anyway, you WILL need track pads after your first couple events so why destroy a nice set of street pads in the meantime?

I'm looking for any track event that I can run without a roll bar. I really don't like the way roll bars look.

As someone else mentioned, you may not mind potentially killing yourself in a rollover but I can't ask instructors to hop in your passenger seat and take the same risk.
I did start AutoXing though a few months back and I've had lots of friends tell me I have to experience the S on the track.
I may end up breaking down and buying a roll bar, but not for a while. In the meantime, If there's an event that doesn't need one, that'd be awesome. As a track n00b I'd be way too cautious to flip it over (hopefully)
