In the interest of safety, broken glass is not only a hazard to a driver but
posses a serious problem for course clean-up after an incident. It is quite
possible that residual glass pieces could be missed only to be run over by a
following contestant.  FOD is always a serious concern on any course.



If there is absolutely NO aerodynamic advantage; can headlights be replaced
with paper replicas in classes where WORKING lights are required? For
example, Production class, Gas class, and others.  If paper or plastic is
not legal, should the rules be changed in the interest of safety?  -Elon
