S2 will not pass without a roll cage for Porsche and BMW events, but I believe Audi is cool with the factory rool hoops.

Hmm I should test with my helmet on because I am 6'3

Liljapanboy, So when I sit in the car with my helmet on, the top of my helmet should not touch the soft top? If so I will not be able to participate?

That's how I understood his comment to be.

Looks like I can't attend.

I'd email Rhen or Dave Pierson (dave.pierson@magnetwork.org) about the specifics...but my coworker is about 6'2" and he was going to attend however Dave told him that if he didn't pass the broomstick test that the Audi Club wouldn't let his S out there....

On the otherhand Latesleeper went to the track day and had no problem...although he is only about 5'6" or so.

I imagine they are somewhat flexible but I'd contact one those organizers for more info.

UPDATE: I got a reply back from Dave. Apparently this was clarified on the Audi Club...

[QUOTE]
As for S2000's , and all convertibles for that matter, the Audi Club, along with all of the other car clubs, is getting tougher on convertibles on track

-- the "broomstick rule" is OK for the exercises but for "lapping at speed"

all convertibles must have four-point roll bars/cages.

Like the hardtop provides additional protection?
