Hey I wanted to add into what Sgt Gator posted.

Tidewater Sports car club changed their run because of me. I signed up for one up for their events and then they said no once I got there because our windshield is not structural.

Now I have run at the same track with a different group and had no issues. I have also run at VIR, Summit Point, and Dominion Raceway with no issues. With my cushion in my seat I don’t believe I pass a broom stick test but without the cushion I am border line. I even met with Tidewater’s inspectors at another track and they said even without the cushion it was to close for their rules.

So most tracks in my area go by NASA rules which doesn’t state a broom stick rule for HPDE events but must have a role bar in place. I normally email the club with pics of the car before signing up for an event to be sure I will be ok when I get there.

I am 5’10” and my Sparco is as low as I can get it with a lean back to help me stay below the bar with my helmet on.
