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 honestly think that it comes down to a person's own maturity level.

At some point in time, whether it be age, skill level or horses under the hood, a driver has to decide when enough is enough.

When you look around you and see RACE prepped cars which have 20mph less terminal velocity on the front straight than my street car, it's time to take a long hard look at what it is you are doing and who all can be affected by a bad decision resulting in a really bad day.
