I thought if you didn't pull it you may get a reinspect.

I don't know, but I've heard that some Street Roadsters are so non-aero they can go 200+, let off the gas, and be out by the six with 2-wheel drum brakes.  I don't see a problem there.

Sun can be bad on some materials. Deteriorates. Our supercar mock-up fell from the ceiling after a flouresant light deteriorated the line holding it up. You could take the line in front of the bulbs and break it with your bare hands. Parts of the line  not in front of lights were fine. Made me think about my belts...

After every run we put the shoot in a bucket of water and let it soak. Then we hand it and let it dry out as much as possible before next run. When we get home rinse it with water and let dry out.
