[QUOTE="gcassidy, post: 9717172, member: 13216"] Well, maybe I'm wrong. There might be different requirements for Hyperdrives and HPDE. You might want to check with Laura. The instructions for signing up for a Hyperdrive just say "Every car must pass a basic technical inspection for safety reasons." and then refer to the standard NASA Tech form which includes under Safety Equipment: "roll bars in open cars". However, the CCR ( [url]http://www.nasaproracing.com/rules/ccr.pdf[/url] ) says under section 11.4.7 "All open cars should have a roll bar installed to help protect the occupant(s) from injury during a roll-over. The roll bar should be able to withstand the compressional forces involved in supporting the full weight of the car. The roll bar’s main hoop should extend the full width of the car (except certain cars that have been approved by NASA). The main hoop shall be one continuous piece with smooth bends and no evidence of crimping or wall failure shall be present (i.e. should be Mandrel bends). All welds should be of the highest possible quality, with full penetration [Ref: (15.6.15)]. All cars with roll bars are required to have adequate roll bar padding per CCR section #15.6.4. In cases where the driver’s head may come in contact with the roll bar should the seatback fail, a seatback brace is required in conformance with section #15.6.22. The material and minimums are as follows: (All cars with full roll cages should conform to the applicable sections found in section #15.0.)" Does your Z pass the broomstick test? If not, no instructor will get in it. The hard top really doesn't matter unless it's metal, and welded on. Take the Porsche. It's red! :rockon: [/QUOTE]
