AND HERE WE GO

Dude, I have no idea who you are nor do I care

Hi I'm Matt

but I'm serious about the issue.

No if you were serious about the issue you would be doing something about it besides running you're mouth in this thread.

And it's a big issue.

It is a big issue almost as big an issue as people running their mouths, which seems to be hurting drifting more than the safety issues.

How is me publicly stating the obvious a "bitch ass cheap shot"?

Because it was a cheap shot at Maximum Angle and you know it was, you're not man enough to just call somebody out you have to hide it in a cute little statement like that.

Safety cannot be compromised.

You know that's the really stupid thing about drifting, safety is compromised everywhere, from roll cage design, to fire systems, to clothing, to helmets, to Hans devices. Not only that but you have the pros hanging out the fucking windows of the cars, now do you really think that's a good fucking idea. No its not. So as you can see Safety can be compromised.

Expect the unexpected.

If the Unexpected was expected then it would be expected but thanks for that awesome cliche

I am trying very hard to establish more opportunities for the sport.

Please feel free to list examples

It's hard enough to find venues for spirited automotive events as it is without having to defend safety shortcomings of the past.

There are safety shortcomings please don't refer to them as past.

That's all I'm saying and I don't regret anything I have previously posted. Just Be Safe!!!

You should really put more thought into this whole safety thing. I'll be happy to show you some properly prepped road-race cars if you would like. Be careful when you throw shit in the fan you never know where its gonna go.

Youre good buddy

Matt

HANS devices and fire systems? You can not seriously expect that at a Grass Roots level. I think only major national series could feasibley make mandates like that. I also believe that drifting is one of the safest forms of motorsports.

See this is exactly what I'm talking about, do you know how many guys show up at track days with Hans devices, they aren't required, Ill have one next month and my subaru(my street car) will have a fire suppression system. They just aren't that expensive.

Also Nasa says
Quote:
IMPORTANT NOTICE: It is expected that use of a head and neck restraint system or device, meeting SFI 38.1 will may become mandatory for all road race series as soon as January 1st, 2007.

That's as grassroots as it gets, drifting has to grow up and start taking some responsibility.

Edit,

Honestly Tandem is wheel to wheel racing and the cages that are required are a freaking joke, this shit is serious people can die doing this you do get that right.

HANS devices and fire systems? ........

Hun, you totally missed the point. Lol. The point is accidents happen. When they do safety progresses so they don't happen again. The other point is, sports don't die because of accidents. Nascar is just a universal, mainstream example of that.

And to answer a question posed about safety certifications. Dan is SFI certified He was a tech director for the NDRA. I can't speak for anyone else that coordinates events but....he is.

I soooo wanna get in on this conversation but I am keeping my mouth shut so I don't hurt stupid people's feelings.

In to watch, though.
