...and there is your dilemma.

I've made the choice the skip these events (as much as I really want to do it).

Each to their own but don't overlook the safety issues. I'm happy to "risk it" against the kerbs, poles, bollards & other permanent objects at the motorplex that you need to dodge, but the temporary concrete barriers are an issue (for me).

Or you could do it and drive to the conditions/within your ability!

Whats the point of competing if your going to dawdle along at 80% pace - may as well save the entry fee and go hit Obrien road.

I see Freds point. How many people here are happy to throw away 70k by putting a car into a barrier?

My car is worth 1/10th of that and even I cant afford to throw that away

There is the answer then, it's not a matter of roll cage then it is a cost factor!

I know what you mean about throwing away money but if you are competing then you should be prepared to bin the thing (cos it could happen regardless of removable barriers!)

I actually think some of the bollards would do as much if not more damage anyway...

Since it wouldnt come on to boost more than twice during the lap, thats what would happen anyhow.

Or in the parking lot, circling, screaming "I don't give a fuck!"
With his windows down and his system up
So, will the real Tino please stand up?
