Rollbar isn't bad, take out seats, cut the outer seat tabs and bolt it up.

Ready for some drama? Pull up a chair.
So, I don't recommend this organization for a couple reasons that I'll outline below.
The guys that run this (Marios and Sina) are young, fairly immature and really like to cater to their friends and the younger crowd. Nothing wrong with younger gearheads that like to track, other than the fact that you'll get a lot of hotshoes with big egos that often get themselves into trouble really quickly. These guys also try to run in the higher skill level groups when they aren't ready (often two to three groups higher) because that's where they think they should be. Sorry, but too soon junior.
I had two friends wad their cars last February at the OnGrid event because of traffic and unnecessarily over aggressive driving by participants. I mean, it's an HPDE. The goal is to have fun and drive home at the end of the day.
I won't even go into the fact that after Sina took over as Admin for the Bay Area Track Junkies Facebook group, he quietly pivoted and began using it as an advertising platform for OnGrid, censoring all other event organizers in the process. He would also delete any and all posts that were remotely critical of their partners. Had this been public, I'm sure the 1000+ members would have quickly left.
That behavior is simply not cool IMO. They tried to chalk it up as people being petty and overly sensitive but lol.
My own personal beef with Sina before he started deleting posts and censoring the group was that I used to get annoyed at him for selling Qstarz timers in the group, but I got over it.
That all changed though once he turned into Fidel Castro.
Speed SF got sick of his bullshit and asked the original group creator to come back, take admin rights away and then ban his ass - which he did. Butthurt, he left with Marios in tow to go form California Track Addicts with the goal to "bury" the Bay Area Track Junkies page, which is the
exact behavior I was expecting. They baited people into joining using free track time which appears to have worked.
Anyway, good luck to your friend I hope their car makes it back in one piece.
