Ben Thatcher says:
<<<The restraint and rollcage issue is a smokescreen, too. A 2000+ pound car
presents a whole different set of safety issues compared to a 150 lb.
kart. Oh, and BTW, I know of a famous doctor driver who flipped his FWD
car at nationals and broke his arm in the process. Does that mean we need
to start putting window nets and/or arm restraints in the rules? Come on.
The kart guys are used to running wheel to wheel with an acceptable level
of safety. Putting them one at a time on an autocross course is LOW
danger.>>>
Wow! Now I find myself agreeing with Ben about a safety issue! ;-)
