Be sure to check with either the group you are running with or with the track itself for any rules related to "convertibles" or "broomstick tests".

See, the 986 Boxster rollbar hoops are a bit low, so if you are seated, in the car, with a helmet on, and the helmet sits above the "line" drawn from the windshield header and the rollbar, you could be in trouble. You might even try the test now w/o a helmet and realize a helmet will add about 2" to the top of your head.

Where I live, some regions don't enforce the broomstick test.. some are fanatical and even one track (VIR) requires 986 Boxsters to use a Brey Krause Rollbar Extension (about $700 new, used can be had for about 1/2 price).

Its best to know before hand than to get to the track and be told you cant run.

** a popular, and economical, DOT 4 fluid that resists brake fade well is ATE "gold" or ATE "blue". You might want to consider using it.
