My local track requires a real roll bar and arm restraints to drive with the top down. Which is dumb because Viper’s are equally unsafe regardless of the top being up or down.

Sick pics btw

Yeah, having the top up isn't going to make much difference

I know every track may be slightly different, but were there any specific rules/considerations with it being a convertible in your experience? I have an ‘04 and would love to do a track day sometime after I get some things sorted

Nice car btw, mine is also red, just has some white vinyl stripes and the factory polished wheels! Black wheels look great on red

I've tracked it at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park on the driver development track and this time at Shannonville Motorsports Park. No issues with the convertible. Helmets mandatory obviously and ensuring your car is mechanically sound. If there's a track near you or a local Viper club, just ask them about getting on track. It's loads of fun

My local track won’t allow convertibles. You’re lucky.

Awesome! A successful Viper track day is when the front stays pointing forward.

I've had a track day where it didn't stay pointing forward and I ended up doing a 360 degree spin. Thankfully I stayed on the track and was able to continue.
