Seriously, as one of John Garcia's assigned "tech bitches" this year, I'm at all of the SCCA events, whether I want to be there or not. WHich is a shame, as I enjoy the PCA events, the bus lot, and am a Maverick Region member. That said, you're still likely to find more of us at the SCCA event.
The top up thing with the PCA is an official policy from the head office as of late last year - all convertibles have to run top up if they do not have a roll bar that meets their Club Racing guidelines or factory active rollover protection - even Boxsters/S2000s/TTs/etc. with their factory roll hoops have to run top up. The local region also had a WRX roll during one of their time trials last year, so they aren't going to cut any slack on safety issues. Doesn't bother me personally, since my roll bar meets their specs and I can run top down, but it seems to be an issue for the lederhosen crowd around here.
