Just something i was thinking about on way into work this am.....

At local Dragstrips, they require cages and other saftey features for sub 11 (?) second cars. Based on some of the postings and my own experience (70mph spin into a gravel trap 2 feet short of the tire wall) Do you guys think at some point (unfortunatly maybe when someone gets killed) there will be restrictions placed on street cars as far as saftey equipment,speed..etc... and not just separate groups based on experience? I'm afraid of a kid (nothing personal, i'll be the first to admit to be young and dumb and fearless at one point (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) ) or any body with litttle or no experience in a 300+ hp car really wiping out good in a street belted no roll caged car.....

Just a random thought :leaving:

i am going to say that there needs to be some type of restrictions as far as open tracking. Most of us that plan on making some runs at decent speeds are already prepped along with the car for that kind of work. But I have seen a number of cars go out there that cook down the front straight at over 130mph with nothing more than a helmet and a seat belt.

Its just a matter of time till someone dies, someone gets sued, a track gets closed, new regs come into effect that will cause even a casual lapper to reconsider going becuase the new regs require parts/equip that they cant afford.

Its an ugly triangle.
