Convertible Rules

Rules governing ALL open topped cars

These are the rules that have been set in place by our club in accordance with the BMW CCA national standards. Every open topped car must be equipped with roll over protection. Additionally, the car must be equipped with a 5 or 6 point harnesses and arm restraints for driver and passenger. This means you need to install a 5 or 6 point harness and arm restraints for you and the instructor. Finally, the roll bar must clear the occupants' helmets by 2" in a straight line from the top of the roll bar to the top of the windshield. This will be measured before going out on track.

Using a factory hardtop in conjunction with factory rollover protection is also acceptable in lieu of harnesses and arm restraints. The top must be made by the manufacturer of the car and be of METAL construction. The top must also be attached using factory hardware. This will be visually confirmed.

Note, BMW CCA strongly recommends (but does not require) a taller roll bar that clears the occupants' heads by 2" in a straight line from the top of the roll bar to the front fender line (which assumes that the windshield collapsed).

If you can meet these prerequisites you will be admitted to drive in the DE. I would strongly suggest you work with me prior to the event to get this worked out. If you show up on the day of the event and something isn't perfect you won't be allowed to run. Please contact Greg Snyder at 972-742-2623.
