Im telling ya... snag some cardboard tubing, black spray paint, caulk to simulate a weld bead and those "noodles" they sell everywhere for padding and make it look like a cage for a fraction of the weight and cost.

Gee, pretty darn silly. Roll bars/cages are very important. I've done a 6 barrel roll, three HARD endo's crash, chrome moly tubing be GOOD!!! I walked away to race hard for years. The 2 year belt rule is absolutely stupid, but safety means something.

They're running indexes this weekend at KID so I may slow it down to run the 12.0 index.

Dont ya read the papers? An airbag can kill ya. Plastic fragments. A little rant here. Fragments are fragments NOT shrapnel! Shrapnel is a type of artillery shell. Its like an airborne shotgun shell. Invented by a man named Henry Shrapnel about the time of the civil war. Done. Thank you!lol.

People still read the paper??? So far I read on the net that FCA has no air bags recalls for the Challenger/Charger...the two cars that are most prominent of the newer FCA cars on the track. Besides, stats show that more people are saved because of air bags than are killed by them. But you will need your specific VIN number to find out if that vehicle is on the air bag recall list.

Yep,old habits die hard. Besides newspaper is usefull beyond reading. The airbag recall is huge,the largest ever. More than half of all airbags were supplied by this company. And all of theirs are being recalled.
Nobody likes the two year rule. Hell I got four sets of belts I gotta keep up to date among other things. One reason for the fresh webbing is its designed to fail at a certain point. Its supposed to let go before it starts breaking bones in the users body. How thats determined,who knows. There was a man who rode rocket sleds in the 50s. Endured over 30 negetive gs. Something like 12 is supposed to ruin you for life. His belts didnt bust him up. 600mph on an open sled! Back to zero in like 2.5 seconds.

Gee, pretty darn silly.

Yeah, it was meant to be. Most people realized that, but there are always a few...

My mistake. I didn't get the humor having gone over & lived because of the quality of my cage.
