That all depends on the definition of "functional roll protection". Some track organizations allow the S2000 to run with the factory roll protection and other do not.

The folks you are talking to are wrong about the S2000 not having any functional roll protection, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the roll protection it does have meets their rules.

 

A prettier picture.

 

Some require that you have a hardtop right? By then, the hardtop doesn't look like it's going to do much in case a car flips. Or am I wrong? Or do those tracks only take rollcages ...

 

Where is it possible to pickup a hard top anyways for a reasonable vavlue?

 

trust me the roll hoops are there under the plastic hoops, i know this because they saved my life!

 

Good to hear that.. but I need some papers to show the sanctioning body

 

You can always check out the "For Sale" forum. I believe there is a spa and also a sebring one on sale now.

I believe new ones run for 2.7K shipped from Flagship Honda in AZ, and used ones are around 2K with hardware before shipping? The real question is, whether Flagship's price includes the hardware ...

 

Yeah. Out of sight, out of mind. Hardtop will do nothing for you in a typical rollover. It would help if you ended up upside down in mud or soft sand -- it would help keep the roll hoops from digging in.

 

Actually I've been curious as to whether or not anyone has removed the plastic covering and if it looks decent. Could save some good weight possibly...
