Cool A $10 helmet for a $10 head.

ITS an old saying and rings true today I am not one to take safety lighly in fact i am almost obsesive about it .
The roll bar is probably the easiest thing to fit to a cobra so all you have to do is take it out get taller one bent up in the correct material and bolt it in . if you have a non structual rear brace you dont have to put a hole thru the body you just build up a mount from underneath to support it.
I know i make it sound easy but i knoe it will take a bit of work but dont you think you safety is worth it.
Think back 2 years to queensland raceway with the 2 rollovers coming off turn 3 they both were just unlucky for it to happen but it could happen to anyone of us.
I havent herd anyone boasting about winning lotto. but we all sure have had some bad luck.
The other issues like belts and seats are just as important.

spooky doesnt have to worry he has all the gear .

unlike most of you i have had some big crashes in speedway racing many years ago so i know how important good equipment is. if i had a video capture card i could put one up for you to see. it silenced the whole crowd when it happend. lucky i only had a few bruses and redeye.

I am definatly with Craig on the implementation time they could have told us at xmas at least. and yes i am fully booked up thank you.
And thats my 5 cents worth.
