Track day:  Go with a GT6+.  You will have roll protection and better
aerodynamics than a roadster with a stock windscreen.

I would not go track-day with your roadster.  Put in a good lap belt and go
to an autocross instead.  In the Solo rule book from SCCA, lap belts are
required in all cars.  Non-stock upper-body restraints are not allowed.],
so you can use the stock 3-point in a TR6, but can't use a 3-point in a
TR3.
