After smashing my pride and joy and having to pay to repair it I was unsure about what to do about the whole safety thing. Scary's post kind of summed it up for me, either go all out on safety or don't.

It's not like my car is unsafe, I walked away from a 40-50km/hr sudden stop on the armco. I broke my seat, it was laid back at a 45 degree angle, I'm lucky not to have submarined out of my seat completely.

I pretension my seat belt and lock it before every run. I reckon had I not done that on the day I would have ended up in the spare wheel well...

If I had your car I would go all out as the shell is ready to take all the extra goodies and you only use it for racing.

I still do daddy daycare pick ups/drop offs twice a week so a caged car is not an option for me at the moment.
