Sounds nice.
Isn't 220 a little high though, especially if it was only 50 out? That reminds me, I might as well update this. I met with one of the Tech inspectors from EMRA who checked over my car, and said he can't let it on the track. But having actually LOOKED and not just assuming I am satisfied with his answer. He explained also explained why he had to say no, which of course was different then everyone else who had never even seen one, and actually made sense. His only really complaint was that the roll bar has no support in the middle, so if the car were to come down on a corner or something it could just fold up. I don't think that's very likely but I guess that just means I'll have to get my *** in gear and finish the real race car.

Having contacted two different track day companies for Watkins Glen they stated the track sets qualifications, thier qualification is a roll hoop must be taller than the helmet and if a broom stick is placed from windshield top to hoop no part touches the helmet also no deploying hoops unless locked in up position.

Or was it that the hoops were not supported by a bar facing towards the front or rear of the car (ie only supported in a 2d space, left-right, instead of a 3d space, left-right and front-back)? |

The height should be fine, dependning on how tall you are of course but that's not really the issue anyway.

Hope you get it on the track soon. Would love to see a roadster at full opposite lock kicking it around a turn.

Short version: Go to the track you want to run on and ask. The tech inspectors there will have final say and there appears to be no set answer.

Does anyone know for sure that the roll hoops even come into play if the car goes upside down? I ask because my two previous cars were Honda S2000s. When it goes upside down, it rests on the hood and the windshield frame, which, it turns out, is an integrated roll bar. I know this for a fact, having flipped my first one.
It may be that with the weight distribution, the Z would land similarly, especially since it is even more front-weighted (53/47) than the S2000 (51/49).

Might want to look into this for your region...
https://www.nasaproracing.com/ They allow 350ZR/370ZR factory hoops to qualify for tech. I will be doing HPDE-1 this summer in my region in a 2006 350ZR.

I'm glad to see somebody managed to get on the track, and congratulations on your trophy.
Once they let one on they will start letting them all. Maybe I'll come back for the 400Z then (or whatever is next)

*Did* I go to... sold the Z and switched to a DD2 Kart (So very fast!).
Thunder Hill, Buttonwillow, Laguna Seca, Infineon, Willow Springs. Always wanted to go out to Fontana, but they don't allow convertibles without roll cages with their high banked turn. |
