The restrictions are just on soft top cars, your t-tops are in a solid frame, so you are good.

NJMSP In-car video link

The link below is for anyone interested in getting an idea about the track configuration of the Lightning Circuit at NJMSP. It is an in-car track day video of a stock Miata. Notice that the car carries both a driver and instructor and still manages a good bit of speed and momentum. Considering the limited power of the stock Miata, this is a respectable lap.

Miatas also have a bolt on hardtop available. So the car could have either a roll bar or the hard top and be legal to run.

Lightning Raceway
The 1.9 mile Northern Circuit will be known as Lightning, this 10 corner circuit will be fast and challenging featuring some of the most interesting and dramatic corners and elevation changes in the park. The 20 acre paddock area will have a 4 acre skid pad and autocross area, as well as concession areas, timing towers and school and drivers meeting room facilities.

I'd do some homework. Never heard of or seen a 2pt rollbar? Does such a thing exist? That's a hoop with with no front/rear struts? Probably meant 3pt?

I just talked to the company that we are doing this with and they are going back and forth with all of the paperwork and such with the track still.

Once the date and the insurance and everything else is locked in we will be able to post all of the technical requirements for the event.

Pretty sure Cobras had 3pts....

I don't know what miata's had and if you are going to put a bar into a car, then you might as well install a bar that has at least 3pts, preferably 4 or more.

Truck and SUV owners, sorry but we won't be able to allow them.
Correct me if I am wrong because I would like to come....
I can run a Lightning @180+ mph during an open road race or run at other road courses, but I can not @ NJMP where it will out handle/run 80% of the other cars?
