    Default CHIN at MSR-H, TWS, COTA this year

    I've seen their track day ads in major magazines so I went to their site.

    Don't know if they have run Texas tracks before, but they are this year

    Miatas don't have to have cages like in BMW

    and they advertise that they have small run groups and that you get lots of track time

    I've entered the MSR-H event in May and plan to enter TWS in August (before the track becomes a housing development)

    and COTA in November is a must -- after running there with BMW, I've got to go back

    Just google chin Motorsports

    Price depends on one day or two and whether solo eligible or not.

    And different for each track

    Anybody know the requirements for a Miata at this COTA event? I have a rollbar, but I am too tall for the broomstick test. I tried Google, but no luck.

    It appears that each event has a specific requirement that can only be viewed once registration is open (not till June 2 for COTA)

    for example, at Road America it says "Must have Factory Roll Over or 4 point aftermarket roll over protection in all convertibles."

    and at MSR-H it says "MSR has a requirement for fixed 4-point (or better) roll bars, or 3-point hoops behind the seat for roadsters.
    This is a strict track standard. Street convertibles and cabriolets with OEM roll protection are generally NOT ACCEPTED."

    email the Regional Coordinator and ask [email protected]

    I worked with Jason at COTA recently for the Ride-Drive-Give charity event. I've emailed him for a response on COTA convertible rules.

    According to Jason, cars with factory rollover protection (Boxster, S2000, etc) are fine for COTA.

    Open cars that do not come with factory rollover protection must have a minimum 4 point aftermarket bar.
