Stock Roll Bars Sufficient for Track Days?

The NASA South East Section website (which includes VIR) says that the Boxster factory roll bar is sufficient for HPDE events. Go to the page below and scoll down towards the bottom. Under "Roll Bars" you'll find a list of accepted factory roll bars that includes the Boxster.

I've driven VIR at a PCA track day using the factory bar and my hardtop. Unless your helmet is noticeably above the bar, you should be OK.

Thanks a lot, that's great, I wasn't looking forward to buying a roll bar extension for $700... I'm short, so I'm sure they won't find any problems with it- really looking forward to the track day, it should be fantastic in the Boxster!
