I was kinda surprised myself, to see that earlier reference to a regional PCA
school which allowed convertibles without roll bars.  I do a lot of track
events with other marque clubs, including once a month with the PCA's Rally
Sport Region.  Great folks, & they do a nice autocross as well -- another
chance for my BMW to whup on the p-brand (trophied 2nd in open class this
year).

For track, they have always required all "open-type" cars to have (at minimum)
an approved roll bar.  .....Now if they would only insist on proper flame
arrestors, to stop those pesky 930 turbos from scorching the front of my car
when I catch 'em at the end of the straight ....;^)
