Default Convertibles no longer "verboten" at ACNA driving school?

Just looked at the Thunderhill driver's packet and looks like the broomstick rule is back.

New board with very different direction as of Jan 1. Maybe the reason for the change.

Take an imaginary broomstick and run from the top of the roll hoops to the top of the windshield. The top of your helmet has to be 2" below that.

Default I wouldn't be comfortable driving it at a DE.

I'm not ruling it out but it's unlikely. If I were to it would be at 5/10ths...I drive more spirited than that on deserted streets currently.

But I thought some of the people re-elected were the ones behind the convertible ban?

Default good!

Say, what events in the northeast will you be at this year? I'll probably have to miss NEQ at the Glen in April, but will be at LRP in June and the Glen in August, and certainly Tremblant. NAAC is stuck with an October NHIS date, it seems, but I'll be there.
