I do not mean to sound pissy, and I appreciate the comments. PCA is great I was just hoping that they might be willing to consider relaxing the rules for convertables as there are more than just boxsters. I appreciate the concern for safety but at the same time how long till the rules require airbags and 5 point harnesses. If it is the instructors who wanted the convertable rules then I just need to shut up and deal with it since I have no right to impose what I consider acceptable risk upon them, but if the organization is just blindly following SCCA safty classifications for competition then maybe a change is in order.

Another one that has always baffled me is standard lap belts are ok but 4 point harnesses are not allowed?

Regardless if I run into a cheap hard top in any color then I would consider it, the race seat is a tempting thought as well, just wish I could test the clearance of different models in an actual boxster.

Anyone know of companies that rent cars for Track days / DEs? I am only good for 2-3 a year anyway, I just would prefer to continue to learn my own vehicle so I will definately be checking out the Miata clubs track events and see if they are willing to take non members. Plus any other clubs out there with less restrictions on convertables that people want to mention.

Thanks for the comments about my new to me Boxster, I am in love with it and cannot think of a better overall sports car I would have probably never considered one if I fit into a Miata or an S2000, thankfully my love for food and beer and some height made me expand my horizons for a convertable.
Thanks!
