Convertibles
All convertible vehicles MUST have a properly manufactured and installed roll bar or roll over protection device to participate in SVTOA On Track events (not including controlled-speed "parade lap" sessions).
* The windshield alone IS NOT considered to be factory roll over protection.
* "Style bars" and "light bars" ARE NOT considered roll bars or roll over protection.
Roll Bars / Roll Over Protection
If a car does not have factory installed roll over protection, a properly manufactured and installed roll bar must be used. Once installed, the driver's helmeted head MUST be below a bar placed on top of the roll bar / roll over protection device and the top of the windshield, i.e., the "broomstick" rule. Roll bar padding is very strongly recommended.
Roll Bars / Roll Over Protection must be;
1) Purchased from an approved vendor (Autopower) and properly installed (following manufacturer installation guidelines - bolt-in or weld-in).
2) Custom manufactured from a minimum of 1.75" x .120 ERW or DOM tubing and properly installed - bolt-in or weld-in.
3) All roll bars / roll over protection devices must have a minimum of four (4) attachment points.
Additionally,
* ALL convertibles must run with soft tops in up/closed position, regardless of factory-installed or owner-installed roll over protection.
* Any make of car delivered with factory-installed roll over protection meets the minimum standards for SVTOA On Track events. In these cars, the soft-top must be run in the up position or a factory-supplied hard top installed.
* All sunroofs and t-tops must be run in the closed position.
* All targa tops must be run in the closed position.
* Approval of all roll bars / roll over protection devises are subject to the Lead Tech Inspector and/or Lead Instructor.
* A convertible with a race sanctioning body (e.g., SCCA, NASA, etc) APPROVED roll cage may be allowed to participate without use of a soft top or hardtop ONLY with approval of the Lead Tech Inspector and/or Lead Instructor.
