Should be required EVERTWHERE like @ Duck's races in Feb & Oct.
 
#15 ·
^^ didn't you just break a crank? =P. I thought it was already in the rules?

Yeah & it cost every dime(& then some) just to get it back together:(



I'm with you Mike..........I dont think they have to worry about making it a 32-car field now-Suks!

I agree they are a great safty item, but when the current rules everywhere else does NOT REQUIRE them, seems kinda crazy that we need one for this race. With only 4 working days to go, and being this late in the season I guess the guys that dont have em will have to stay home. Guess I'll be spectating and watching the Shakedown struggle to get a 16 car field in X275.

X2..... I think this will keep alot of us out. With only 3 to 4 days to get this done. They dont always fit the first time around.Turbo car usually need some fireproofing on them. Our headers tend to get alittle hot....

Anyway we can get a one race wavier on this????

There is a member on here that sells them,got mine in a couple of days.I wouldnt run anywhere now without it,broke a wrist pin a month ago, diaper caught almost every drop.
 
#22 ·
Why, Because I know alot of cars that are going that don't have them, did'nt want to see some one make the trip and not get to race because of this. Never intended to start a problem just trying to make it known for the guys that don't have one. I know I would be pissed If I drove there and had to go home because of a 149.95 safety device. I'd rather spend the money and be sure then to chance it.
 
#19 ·

I'm with brandon-how about some type of waiver????
