Well how come you don't mention that when I saw you at Pit Race last year?
I know that the hardtop does increase the top end speed due to better aerodynamics but I like the open car look and beside, with the side protection that I had welded in it would be a real pain trying to squeeze in to the drivers seat, and even more difficult to ge out of quickly if needed. Right now I can quickly unbuckle the race harness and jump over the door to get out.
I have a friend who races a Formula Ford and he has to squeeze himself into it, in an emergency it would take him way too long to get out if he needs to.
