Howdy, OK, I got some questions on modified partial streamlined class.

7.f.4 FENDERS   rear fenders shall extend to a point >not less than< a 
vertical line drawn through the rear axle.
7.f.12 PARTIAL STREAMLINING   There must be no streamlining other than a 
seat or a tail section to the rear of a line drawn vertically through the 
axle of the rear wheel, and the rim must be clearly visible for the 180 
degrees of its circumference to the rear of such a line. If a streamlined 
seat or tail section is used, it cannot extend further to the rear than a 
vertical line at the rear edge of the rear tire.

OK, so I can build a fender/seat tail section combination that goes to the 
rear of the rear tire? but one that does not cover any portion of the 
tire/wheel viewed from the side? including a fender that stops at the 
vertical line and gives the 180 degree rule (back 1/2 of the tire/wheel 
combination visible) ? in other words, a fender that looks like the picture 
on the front cover of the 2003 rule book, and includes a seat/tail section 
that looks like the picture between pages 224-225, the SCTA ads for El 
Mirage 2003 posters?
