i hear you guys on safety but at the same time the NHRA rules are absurd and consequently not a lot of people race at the track in my area anymore. Having to put parachute, cage, etc at the NHRA levels required is ridiculous. Those rules were written in an era before modern cars were around.
would you rather be in a 100mph crash in a 2017 lambo with no cage or extra safety stuff other than all the stock air bags etc, or in a 1966 VW with a cage? I'll take the lambo

Some of the rules are just nonsense in this day and age. Not to mention some of the pictures of cages I've seen which are lethal. The rules on their design must be very very loose.

going to be very soon here that stock cars will be in the 9s and low 10s and will be "illegal" to take to the track straight from the factory. so dumb. at least at the 1/2 mile events if you spin out too there is nothing to hit typically, so no wall right next to you to crash into
