The rule book says the cowl can be flattened on gas and fuel roadster as  long as the body counter is not lower than the top of the doors.

I remember when Al Holoway had to put a Plexiglas windshield reveal on this car. As Street Roadsters are required to have now. It was held on with two .030 aluminum tabs and 4 pop rivits. He went 219 with that and it didn't bend, so I guess the revel is in the boundary layer.

Is "contour" the word we're searching for?
