This is EXTREMELY tempting. Looks like the only one near me in April is Thompson - I kinda wish it were Palmer, but I suppose I'll settle. Now the question is, buy a rollbar for the Miata or take the Focus?
April is “Member’s Month” at SCCA’s Track Night in America. That means if you are an SCCA member and sign up for an April Track Night in America event before March 31, it will only cost $50—that’s for about an hour of track time. And if you aren’t an SCCA member yet, you can become one and register for an event for $100. Time to start searching for a Track Night in America event near you. Thank you to Tire Rack and Mazda for making this possible.

I joined, and if I can get out of a work trip, I may be able to do April at Pitt Race! (Watch BOTH flag stations for the checker. Watch BOTH flag stations for the checker...)
50???? Where do i sign up for that price? Even if the challenge car isnt ready, ill run the elky.
You guys will definitely have fun.
Damn. There's one at Atlanta Motorsports Park in April. Haven't done a track day in years. Do they use the broomstick test for 'verts? Wonder if my NC could go without needing to add a roll bar...
No events at Putnam or NCM this year? Dangit that makes me over 4 hours to the nearest one and a full vacation day.
None at Summit. Darn. Nearest is Jersey, 3 hours, and Pitt, 5 hours.
In reply to maschinenbau:
Same dilemma. 9 hours of round-trip driving for a short stint of track day in the middle, in the evening. I'd rather pay for a full PDX and have the whole day to enjoy. (Putnam was fun last year)
okay, I am going to get my brother to do it with me in his SRT 8 Challenger. No roll bar on the daily driver Answer Thunderhill is the Nor Cal one I think, but maybe Monterey or Napa,
Couple stupid questions. Looking over the rules it looked like a roll bar was only required for convertibles with no factory roll protection. A factory hard top would meet all the requirements right? Also, I saw nothing about if transponders were required?
