Thanks,  I look forward to seeing your solution to:

 "the canopy shall not be attached to the steering mechanism"

Guys... C'mon, do you honestly think I haven't memorized every inch of the rule book?! The canopy will be part of the body and a totally separate deal from the chassis! I got it covered!  :-D

That's another rule that I'd like to hear the backstory on (assuming there is one).

When we asked about our plan to use an electromagnet as a canopy latch Lee Kennedy said it was fine as the canopy was one of the first things to detach in a crash anyway no matter what the holding device. That may be the reason for the rule.

I'm not arguing but how much steering do you think you'll be doing if you crash hard enough to tear the canopy off?  :? Wayno
