To answer Curt's question, I rather suspect there is even less of a safety inspection than we see at a DE day. None of our local clubs allow cabs of any kind to participate in our track days unless they have some form of aftermarket rollover protection. The exception is our local PCA chapter, who allow Boxsters with factory roll hoops, but no one else will even allow that. They must have additional aftermarket rollover protection.

Anyway, that said, prayers for them and their families. They are just out to have some fun and support a worthwhile charity. No one deserves this.

Yup, PCA allows any Porsche production car… I was running a DE 14 years ago and as such had to coach in the 550 speedster because nobody else would. Terrifying drum brakes, lap belts and banjo steering wheel…
