Stock rollbars OK for Norcal HPDE (Boxter and S2000)?

[kbyrd]

I posted this in the Norcal section as well.

 

Do the OEM rollbars on the Porsche Boxter and Honda S200 meet the requirements? I'm asking for some friends who might want to do HPDE.

hey kbyrd,

OEM roll bar on Boxster and S2000 are ok.

Ive run my Boxster in HPDE events and no complaints. They might make you run top down though. I think socal/nocal have different rules, socal let me run anyway i wanted, my last norcal event at infineon they made me run top down. BRR it was really cold that day too...

Factory roll over protection is acceptable. There are some cars that have pop-up roll bars that are activated in a rollover. They are allowed too. We require convertables to run with the top down to pevent the driver from being speared by the top mechanism in a rollover. We may or may not grant exceptions on rainy days to protect leather interiors from water damage.
