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

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.
