You misunderstand my whining. I think AX is safe enough to run without any rollover protection, hence I am in no rush to install a rollbar. I think PCA is being foolish with their "top-up" rule. If they are that concerned -- more concerned than SCCA or ER or most other clubs running AX -- they should just require a rollbar and be done with it. It's the "top up is safer" mentality that gets my lederhosen in a twist.Originally Posted by altiain
You'll remind me that at an AX early last year -- I think it was a PCA event -- they did have someone roll (in a WRX, if I'm not mistaken). Well, I'm waiting for the day when one of the "safe" top-up ragtops (god forbid it's a Miata ) goes over... then when the body comes out in four pieces, we'll all see just how safe that little piece of brilliant thinking is .
But it's OK... that's just my [warped, and very vocal] opinion. PCA can run any way they want. And in the end, there are plenty of other places I can race... in a terribly unsafe manner with my top down and no rollbar :P .
I'm not picking on you alt... most people on this board are OK with it all, or they just don't care enough to "vent". One day I'll get over myself and just install the bloody rollbar.
By the way, you may notice that I don't make too big a fuss when MSR requires top up. They probably should require a rollbar, which would mean I couldn't run. So on that score, I stay verwy, verwy quite (said in my best Elmer Fudd voice) .
