Good time's does the PCA let you run with your top down with a roll bar?

I can with arm restraints - I used to be able to all the time - but the PCA firmed up that rule. Not sure the canvass top would do much - but that's what the roll bar is for.

We had a couple of cabs running with no top at our DE @ Fontana recently with no arm restraints. I think because they "called" it an AX, and justified that with several 20 minute practice sessions with multiple cars, they may've circumvented the typical requirement for arm restraints. I kept my top on-should've ditched it for at least one session to try it out.

I lose about 7-9 mph on the back straight with the top down. Go figure

The turbulance thing was in the back of my mind. The Cobra was pretty limited in top-end, which led to the Daytona Coupe.

Heck, the Targa has a big scoop at the rear with the top off.
