Dick,
Not picking on you or your son, but...
I know it's hard to tear apart a nice ride and put in the cage and other
stuff where there is no room but.... it's a lot harder to weld bones back
together. One of the things that impresses me about LSR folks is the
concentration on safety. We can buy a car that'll do 140, add accessories to
make it go 190 but not want to put in a roll cage or other safety equipment.
I see a lot of accidents with teenagers that may have lived had they the
safety equipment required by LSR rules.
