. I noticed on your car and a few other race cars that you no longer use the original filling points. Is this part of the regulations, or is it more for weight savings?

Hi Bill,
Sorry, I should have said fuel filling point (fuel cap). I was just curious as to whether it was racing regulation or purely your choice for its removal.
Thanks, Robin.

Rick i think you would find the regulations state you need to have things like doors, working headlights and brake lights etc in a road sports class.

Michael is correct. I did strengthen the body, reducing flex, with a six point roll bar. Also, the door latches are long pegs, not the stock locks, so they will withstand body impact. Most of what was done to this car is according to the various club specs. Other refinements were based on the experience of long time racers. And then of course there were things done to my personal taste--trunk lid vents (vents the fuel cell), side mirrors mounted to the body not the doors, rolled wheel arches and the list goes on.
