Convertible Q & A


Q: Are all convertibles allowed on track?

A: Yes if you can pass the "Broomstick Test" AND...

1. You understand it's an added risk as upside down your head may take the impact.

2. If your vehicle has a factory roll over protection (see below) or an aftermarket roll bar then you should be able to pass The FIRM’s Tech inspection and drive on track.

3. We have compiled a list of convertibles (see below) for which a manufacturer have stated to have a factory roll over protection. We are updating the list on a regular basis. We have also included a list of acceptable aftermarket roll bars. The roll bars on the list are examples only. The FIRM does not endorse any brand or model of roll bars and will not be held liable for any failures of roll bars. If you have any questions please contact The FIRM before registering for a track event.

4. If your vehicle is not on the list, please provide FACTORY documentation stating that YOUR make and model has rollover protection. If it was an option (e.g. pop-up roll bars), then you need to prove your car has these. Submit the documentation The FIRM @ [email protected]

Submitting documentation other than from the manufacturer may not be sufficient.

Acceptable documentation:

1. Factory-produced sales brochures and websites (a link may be sent).

2. Letters or emails from an employee of the factory. Must be on letterhead or use the manufacturer’s domain. The letter must state very specifically, that the vehicle does have rollover protection.

If your convertible is not in this list, it most likely requires an aftermarket roll bar to be installed in order to use it on track.

Acceptable roll bars include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Hard Dog (any specified as acceptable for NASA or SSCA HPDE on their website).
  • AutoPower Street Roll Bar, Street-Sport Roll Bar, or Race Roll Bar.
  • Blackbird Fabworx Miata / MX5 / 2017+ Fiat 124.

The above roll bars are examples only. The FIRM does not endorse any brand or model and will not be held liable for any failures of roll bars.

Q: What about the broomstick test?

A: The top of all occupants’ helmets must fall below the line between the top of the windshield and the top of the roll bar for the roll bar to provide full protection. In motorsport, this is referred to as the “broomstick test” because it is typical practice to rest a broomstick across the top of the windshield and the roll hoop while the occupants are seated in the vehicle to determine whether the roll hoop is high enough. If the top of any occupants’ helmet is above this plane, the roll bar is not going to provide sufficient protection.

Sufficient roll hoop height can also be an issue for tall drivers, in part because the roll hoop is designed by the manufacturer for street use (driving without the additional height of a helmet). It is your responsibility to confirm you have sufficient roll bar height before registering for our events.
