When you have a roadster there needs to be a higher level of saftey. It did not have a roll bar of any type that I saw.
The speed stop challenge and autocross don't have a very high risk, but sometimes accidents happen (Like DSE 69 Camaro RTTH event). The road course version of the event has very high speeds and if there was an issue with a car with no safety equipment and someone got hurt, it could end the event from ever happening again.

Not sure what state you live in, but there were cars at the event without wipers. You need that to pass DEQ to be street legal also need working turn signals, and horn etc... I'm not saying your car shouldn't have been there. I think that going forward in events to come there needs to be some rules added or split into classes.

If you want to get into safety, I totally agree. It should at least have a roll bar. That is why I have a cage. This is the fine line we are at. I don't have the answer you guys are looking for. Safety is very important and I don't want to see something bad happen out there at these really cool events.

As far as wipers go, that is a must and should be part of the tech inspection if it is not already.
