those open speedster cars have to be demanding to drive in all weather conditions

A few years ago when the Great Race started in Jacksonville FL, one of our club members completed it in a '29 Rootleib speedster (with no additional support vehicle!). They called themselves the blue & gray team since they drove the whole race wearing Union & Confederate infantry caps. The race was very rainy that year.

Next year he wanted to do it again but his navigator said no thanks.
So instead he drove the speedster from Jacksonville to Alaska and back towing a home-made plywood camper trailer.

After that adventure he changed the speedster body for a Coupe body.
Said he had enough open-air driving.
