    My Kingdom:

    Cut the zip ties off the heater core and use it for target practice, same with the water bottle.

    Cage rules is open, keeping the current rule as the minimum, include piercing the firewall to allow the cage to extend to where our feet are. (loved the cages this weekend at 24Hr of Lemans)

    Lose the side glass.

    Any Head and Neck system, though one would be mandated. (Sorry simple safety rule)

    Any two way adjustable shock

    Any motor/ transmission/ body mounts.
    Maybe the ABS on a Toyota isn't designed for those kinds of speeds, but my BMW and Porsche's are.

    If I were king I'd make glue on vortex generators legal, kill the lift not the car. Also I'd either remove the front spoiler, or add a provision for a rear wing 10"x48" mounted no higher than 4" above the peak of the roof, depending on which side of the bed I woke up on Hey a guy who races a backward falling rain drop can dream??

    ps.. I remove my support for Kirk "Tha Kang" Knetis and place behind Rob "Tha Tooffus" Bro

    Daytona, ran out 5th gear, at about 140 with smaller tires. 100+ on a ABS system engineered for the street, I would not want to try it. Driving on the highway and competition driving are two different driving models. Now a new ABS system, off of a newer application (BMW, Porsche, Audi ETC), maybe. But this is IT! And you were king for a day...

    And on that note, add remove the 5yr rule to my list. If someone wants to run it let it be so.
