A properly mounted and braced single hoop is fine for the driver. It is not as safe as a full cage (FFR spec racer etc,) but for NON-COMPETITIVE open track, it will do the minimum. That doesn't mean it is safe, just the minimum required. This post was started because several groups are requiring equal safety equipment for the instructor/passenger, as for the driver. Often times, open track events will allow passengers, for at least one or more sessions. And every open track event requires instruction for inexperienced drivers, of which there are many. Most now will allow a lead/follow, but that is nowhere near as effective as a guy in the seat shouting in your ear.

Want to run a single hoop?... be experienced and ride alone.
