How much does topless change things for a mod?

"I'd pay $15 to watch a sprint car sit still."

If you've not seen them, personally, I like them better that way. You can see the driver 'working' in the car (like a non-winged sprint, for example).

Some of the drivers put a fair amount of duct tape on their cage & on their 'windshield' area to help block some of the bright lights that they normally don't encounter with a roof over them.

But when they come down the short shute in front of the stands, it's a pretty cool sight. They look more like warriors going to battle.

Here's a couple of cool pictures from the previous Cowtown Topless races that I thought you might enjoy...hope you can make it to the race!

The current weather forecast for this upcoming weekend's Topless 100 is looking great at this point. Here's the latest:
