Charlie,
Those were great pics, I really enjoyed seeing them.

--Not being a racer, I am always surprised to see so many Healeys that race
with their hardtops on.  --I figured its probably thought to be aerodynamic,
but I would have also thought that the additional (high center of gravity)
weight would be a negative in acceleration and handling...  Not to mention the
"Bass Drum effect".   I have a hard top and don't use it on long trips because
of the fatigue..

What is the reasoning, other than foul weather protection?
