Joe, firstly call me Laurence or Laurie.
Thought of one more thing regards windows. On the driver side you would be crazy not to use what they call NASCAR bars (I think). These bars extend into the door cavity (where the window currently resides) and almost reach the outer skin of the door. Such an arrangement requires both the window removal and the gutting of the door but may well save you from serious injury. At a recent club race at COTA we had an incident where one SPB T- boned another. Despite the fact the metal work was demolished the NASCAR cage arrangement managed to keep the offending car completely clear of the driver who suffered not so much as a bruise. Having seen the result I wouldn't do it any other way.
I also tow with a open trailer and with my temporary windows in place I do get some water in the car but there is very little left to soak it. Other than sometimes racing with a damp seat I don't have an issue.
