Why was no one crying about the incredible 1962 Corvette that was in last years OUSCI? Goodguys Street Machine of the year and SEMA GM design award winner. It did not even have a roof. I don't think that car has door glass either. Would that car not be allowed? Every car in this years competition had all the lights, wipers, glass needed to be street legal. This is not a "pro-touring" event. Some like more comfort features than others. All of these cars were street legal. Leave it at that.
No it shouldn't be allowed! Is that what you would like to hear?
When you have a roadster there needs to be a higher level of saftey. It did not have a roll bar of any type that I saw.
The speed stop challenge and autocross don't have a very high risk, but sometimes accidents happen (Like DSE 69 Camaro RTTH event). The road course version of the event has very high speeds and if there was an issue with a car with no safety equipment and someone got hurt, it could end the event from ever happening again. NHRA IHRA SCCA etc.. No roof more rules!!

Not sure what state you live in, but there were cars at the event without wipers. You need that to pass DEQ to be street legal also need working turn signals, and horn etc... I'm not saying your car shouldn't have been there. I think that going forward in events to come there needs to be some rules added or split into classes.
