There's no room for facts here, the boat has already set sail.

 

Also James heard about it, I supplied the link after.

Oops that probably counts as a fact too...  :deadhorse:

I'm 99% sure they added "not legal for Spec Miata" after the fact....because I looked for some type of wording and I didn't see it.

I was thinking the same thing Todd but really couldn't 100% say that was the case so.........

I can see how people would be confused with the plexiglass window and all.

 

I'm sure they'll be coming out with the de-froster and headliner versions soon, stay tuned.

Saw it when they first sent it out but didn't read it until I saw this thread, sooo, maybe it was added after the fact. I have no idea.

My first thought was that it must be for Chump/Lemons, or other classes where it maybe legal, but that's strictly supposition on my part. :P

As someone that is looking to lower the weight of my car (and myself) to get closer to the min weight for the SSM class here in SFR, I would trade for this top in a heartbeat if it was legal.  On a good day I am 50# above the minimum.  I say adopt the top for this class to allow greater parity for all drivers.

Had it for a long time, Tom. Just rarely feel the need to chime in...

 

Glad to see you racing finally!

They state it is a racing top, so I don't know who else it would be designed for except SM ( at least for the NA and NB models ).

 

There are plenty of other classes for racing Miatas.  PT and E (enduro) in NASA, ITA etc. in SCCA, LeMons/Chumpcar etc.  One has to wonder how this top compares to ones that are already on the market like: http://treasurecoast...fits-90-05.html
