You May want to email them and ask but I'm pretty sure you can go out
w/o a hard top and I know for sure you don't need a cage.
The email address to ask is jr@morrisport.com
This is for all skill levels, they ad how much experience you have had when you sign up and that is how they decide your run group.
These guys are also putting on a beginers day in June. It's only for people who have never been on a track before. I will try and get the information and post it up.

Any guys thinking about going to Mission for the very first time need 2 things for their cars. Fresh high temp brake fluid. Either Ford DOT 3 fluid or Dot 5.1.
I use Motul RBF 600.
And high temp brake pads with lots of meat left.
Mission is very hard on you brakes because there is very little time for the brakes to cool and you will be slowing down from 135-150 km/h down the front straight to around 40-50ish for turn 1 and similar speeds for turn 3.
It sucks to pay so much money only to have to drive at 50% or less because of overheated brakes.
Lastly, bring your own helmets. If you can, get a SA2005 helmet, but SA2000 should be fine.
If sucks to put on a loaner helmet that is wet with other people's sweat, assuming they have loaner helmets.

Sent an email about some of the questions above, here is the response.
Your S2000 is fine if it has the factory rollover protection behind the seats. I would recommend you run with a hard top if you have it.
Have you done a track day event before? The TRACKTIME program is for experienced track day drivers only.
If not, our Firstime event would be the ideal program for you. Once you have completed it, you would be able to join us for TRACKTIME.
We supply helmets for our Firstime participants but TRACKTIME drivers are required to bring their own.
You can visit www.theinsideline.ca for all the details.
I also made another post specific to the first time track day.
