Can I Take My Convertible Vehicle on a Race Track in HPDE or Time Trial Groups?

[Roman V.]

If your vehicle has a factory roll over protection(see below) or an aftermarket roll bar then you should be able to pass a NASA Tech inspection and drive on a race track.

We have compiled a list of convertibles vehicles for which a manufacturer have stated to have a factory roll over protection. We are updating the list on a regular basis. In the same document, we have also added a list of acceptable aftermarket roll bars. The roll bars on the list are examples only. NASA does not endorse any brand or model of roll bars and will not be held liable for any failures of roll bars. If you have any questions please create a New Topic or reach to us via a Support Page.

If your car is not on the list, provide FACTORY documentation stating that YOUR make and model has rollover protection.  If it was an option (e.g. pop-up) roll bars, then you need to prove your car has these.  Submit the documentation to us via a Support Page.

Submitting documentation other than from the manufacturer will be ignored.

Acceptable documentation:

Factory-produced sales brochures and websites

Letters or emails from an employee of the factory.  Must be on letterhead or use the manufacturer’s email domain
