    Thats not grass roots drifting. That is top national level competition. There is a big difference between a grass roots and Formula D. The saftey requirments have to be made with budget and risk associated with that particular level of competition. You don't see SCCA requiring people fresh to auto-x to prep their cars for road racing. local events are more similar to auto-x than Formula d. And when locals have tandems the saftey requirments DO increase. Cage requirments, prior experience, etc.

    Nasa road racing is as grass roots as it gets and they are going to be requiring head and neck restraint systems soon,

    Here's a little reality check for you because you don't get it.

    Coil-overs $1000 dollars

    Hans Device $900 dollars

    Now which one will keep you from dying.

    Super JDM Wheels x 2 drifter style yo $600 dollars

    Fire Suppression System $550 dollars

    Which one would you rather have.


    If you want to die its you're business
