Default Anything can happen

I agree with Wazza very unusual but, seeing it happen is scary.

It is interesting that here under CAMS we do not need to have any rollover protection in our open to cars when running sprints.

But with ANDRA, you go too quick, you need a 6 point cage, approved seat, 3 layered race suit and arm restraints.

I must say that even though I am not the quickest car I absolutely appreciate the fact that I have increased my chances of surviving a crash.

The other real area that I am concerned about is a side impact that is where I think we are vulnerable.

Not trying to scare but the difference in our sport is that we are getting faster every year, and sometimes you just need to stop, take a step back and make sure you are safe.
