I registered for Track Night, was on wait list, but never received an acceptance. That's OK, because I don't think my mechanic will have installed the necessary roll bar for my '60 Sprite by tomorrow morning, so I wouldn't have been able to participate anyway.
My question is this: Can I come in my '77 MGB WITHOUT ROLL BAR, and take part in the 4:30 Track Tour Laps? Do I need a helmet for the Track Tour Laps?
.....
I’m i in the event if I received an email saying thanks for joining the event or is that just part of the wait list?
