Hope I didn't lead you astray with the Alt/GT comment. I was just commenting
that there's a pretty big spread between production and modified sports. If any
modifications stray too far from the production rules you end up running with a
number of single task cars. There might be an argument for a middle road
category someday.
Something else came to mind. Can you reach and release the T-top latches
with your roll cage installed?
