That's good news, I thought top-down was mandatory even in the rain.

No, definitely not in the rain. I've run Laguna w/ NASA in the rain and top up was fine.

I got this out of one of their PDF's

"We ask the drivers of convertible cars to run with the top down if is not raining."

What's the reason behind this? Easier to get to people in a crash?

believe so. altho, their preference is that we have a cage. have seen some gnarly accidents with convertibles (what, we have a windshield? i couldnt tell ..), and on the track the chances of lopping your head off if you roll is paramount. so best to just keep all our stuff inside, 4 wheels on the ground of course.

side note. I LOVE CHOCOLATE. ooohohohooohoooohhooohohohooohhoooooo vu (and everyone else who i've shared some munchies with* are in for a treat next time theres an oven around.

*learned how to make chocolate souffle today ooomgoodness it made me so happy owemaighodd.* hahahha. ok. goodnite.
