There are lots of "race cars" that have an open top and high horse power.

If YOU choose to stay off the track or run a different car, I understand.

I choose to run a Cobra. There is no doubt I would "push it harder" IF I had a roll cage AND I wasn't worried about the repair costs.

Drive responsibly is the key element here and accept the risk if you want to race a convertible with minimal protection. I haven't seen ANY Miatas at the local track here with a "hard top", most have only a roll bar (some, single hoops).

Recently a guy rolled his Honda at the track. It doesn't take BIG horse power OR high speed to crash on the track (or on the street). I think of the Cobra as a "motor cycle", they don't have a roll cage either!
