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: |

It has always struck me as strange that there is no real safety requirements or a tech inspection for open track events. N.H.RA. has some strict rules, but they do make sense. I did not want to put a roll bar in my brand new car just cause it ran 11's. Now that I open track I am glad I did.
