Hi all, I'm new here. My name is Jake. Some of you may know me as a moderator at CamaroZ28.com.

I have an '02 Z28 M6, and just enough racing experience to know that I want to do it as often as possible. Some CZ28ers recommended that I come over here to get the advice I need, since everybody over there seems to prefer drag racing. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/loco.gif)

I've tried drag, and it's fun, but autocross and open track days are a lot more fun! I haven't tried road racing yet, but to be honest I'm not sure how it differs from an open track day. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Read through that thread last night. It's pretty eye-opening.

I saw someone hit a wall at 100+ at a drag strip in a 2001 Z28. No cage. The airbag deployed and she walked away. That's really the only major crash I've seen (in person). Despite that, I'm not ignorant about safety, nor do I harbor any delusions about how safe I am behind the wheel from disaster. However, at the same time, the car is my spring-summer-fall DD, and any sort of cage is pretty much out of the question. I have a driveshaft loop, but that's about it for safety mods (unless SFCs count -- I would think they help a little, but again, no delusions). Are there other things that you guys would recommend I install or use in the absence of a cage? (I could go make a tech thread about this...)
