Wow....very cool but I can't help but notice how many things I don't like safety-wise on that car. Scary to think about crashing one of those even once at 180+ much less doing it on a regular basis.

Thanks for sharing. Very interesting to see older top-shelf cars up close.

A HR seat, properly anchored harnesses, a HANS, and some real rollbar padding and I'd trust it at 180.

The rear part of NASCAR cages, even modern ones, look sketchy to me, but they have some real sturdy frame rails back there, and lots of forward bracing from the middle of the main hoop. I think they figure on more of the rear being a crush zone that we are accustomed to in club racing.

What I wonder is how many yahoos stole a 'real Earnhardt shift knob' for their car before the museum just quit replacing them.
