Do we have a strict definition of streetable? Sorry, too lazy to look in our rules if that's defined. I'm assuming streetable means above to drive on road with insurance?

http://drivefast.org/rules/modified-category/
Qualifications for the Modified Category are minimal:
Tires must be treadwear 140 or greater.
Cars must be street legal in the State of Florida, but registration and insurance is not required.
The intent of this category (except Open Modified) is that cars should not be so extensively modified that they could not be returned to stock. In general, cutting & welding is bad, bolt-on stuff is good; looking like a stripped race car is bad, looking like a complete street car is good.
M0 (Open Modified) Rules
The Open Modified class (M0) is for exotic cars, and cars that exceed any of the above limits, but are otherwise street legal and on street tires. Cars that bump up from M1 also go to M0. For safety, doors, hood and a complete firewall are required for ALL Modified cars.
Tube frame and kit cars are allowed in Open Modified provided they have a minimum of two seats, are fully street legal, and meet all safety requirements.

From the very quick search I did, seems a street legal car in Florida needs to have taillights/turn signals, which it does not have. Also, a horn and windshield wiper, which it may or may not have. Also, not sure if what is left can be considered bumpers.
If you really, really give a crap and want to force them to add these things, they probably would. or put them in R1. I don't think Andrew and Aaron really care which class they are in.
I suspect Doug doesn't care as much as it sounds like he does. He's a conspicuous pot stirrer.

Since I said nothing. You heard nothing. For person(s) to show up on the final points event with a co-driver with a naked stripper in a contested class - I would have put it's competition tech/safety sticker on the outhouse instead of their vehicle. The reason you couldn't gain access to the restrooms was the staff saw a "shithouse" in the grid and thought it was okay. You really don't want to see what I will come up with for next season. A two holer.

Had to check with the Urban Dictionary
two-holer
An outhouse that has two seats (holes), allowing two people to move their bowels at the same time. Common in the days before indoor plumbing when toilet paper was either corn cobs or pages from the Sears catalog.
Sorry Jethro, I can't help you shoe your horse this weekend. The old lady wants me to clean out the two-holer.

This thread has gone off the rails.
Did you know we're having an autocross at Venice Airport this Saturday?

If you're fast, let Loren pick the class he believes your car should be in and just aim for FTD. Each event

Hitting of steves house is an automatic DNF.

Not sure I'd add any gymkhana features there, youngster...I seem to remember someone who had trouble judging distance to cones earlier in the summer.
