In honor of that here's a short video:

Some nice engineering went into that I must say, plus not a lot of weight. I would say it would plenty fast with a GSXR engine. I would drive the snot out it.

From the pic (to me) it looks like they fabbed a sorta rainguard thing into the door. It kinda looks like the windows would go up to the "factory" height behind it.

Check out the pic at full size, you can see the rubber bailey channel, that's as far up as the glass goes, gutters have been shaved and top of the door has been extended up.

It's a roof chop and uses a windscreen from an oval, I would hazard a guess it's a roof turret off an oval.

Anyway........
