[Land-speed] Dumb MS car class question

[Neil Albaugh]

Mayf;

The way I read the rules, the top must be an original option and can't be 
chopped. How about hinging the top at the rear and swinging it up and to the 
rear? You would need some really foolproof latches on the front to keep it 
closed at speed, though.

Regards, Neil  Tucson, AZ
