At the other end of the scale, we run a school every spring where you 
can bring out your Miata (only!) with NO roll bar. It helps that the 
organizer of the school is also the liason with the insurer for most of 
the car clubs in northern California.

It's a chance for people to come out and decide if they like this stuff 
without cutting up their car first.

There are some caveats with that... we discourage them from coming back 
a for a second year without getting a bar, and we tell them that a) they 
won't get in-car instruction, just lead/follow, and b) keep it to 
freeway speeds. We have cone chicanes set up in front of the hairy 
high-speed corners anyway.

a) is almost never true... students tend to get it and riding with them 
is relatively non-scary.

b) is pretty close to true... beginning students tend not to have high 
exit speeds, and we drive fast on the freeways out here. :)
