    45k is a little crazy for a non-caged truck. That rear axle is droop worthy though.

    Kinda what I was thinking... Yet another reason not to break the bank on a paint job. on a positive note, desert pin stripes don't show as bad on white!

    If anyone is planning on racing anytime soon. SNORE just made Head & Neck Restraints Mandatory..Which is an awesome thing if the next step of safety while racing. We stock them, but just a heads up.

    Been a long time coming and the other Org's are sure to follow.

    its not an awesome thing. its another way to drive up cost. i understand its their rules for their races. that i can respect since its their show so to speak, but none of this should be mandated. doesnt mean i wouldnt wear such things, because i do believe in being safe, but not because im forced to do so.

    Meh. Safety first. The more people who are injured or killed on BLM or other state owned land means we could loose the privilege to race there.

    it will always get worse. its my job to make sure that im safe. same thing with seatbelts on the street, and helmets. i always wear my seat belt, and a helmet while on a bike. shouldnt be mandated. i understand that its their show so if you dont like it then you can piss off, but its just another added cost for those of you who barely can afford to race as is.

    Its your job to be safe until you enter a race under their organization, then it becomes their job. If you can't afford to race (like me) then don't. I agree with government not telling you what to do, but this is not government

    This...More injuries equal more possible law suits. And more possible law suit's result in higher insurance costs..Higher insurance costs mean higher entry fee's.

    End result is the same. Closure of the sport. This is a good thing on a few levels. The upfront cost of a H&N restraint could posisbly lower the insurance costs and bring entry fee's down. None the less it will aid in stopping them going up.
