Is there a way to deploy the
Roll over bar for track use?

Even if you could get the factory rollover protection to deploy, I do not expect it would qualify as part of the tech inspection.

NASA rules for HPDE usually dictate a 4 point bar:

The OEM system is 2 - "2 point" bars.

If you are serious about track use you should consider what is involved in having a custom bolt in cage fabricated. You may be able to pull the rear seat cushions out and have something built to use OEM mounting points, which would also provide you the ability to get a proper harness mounting position.

As far as being a track toy the vert is much more limited sadly.
