Ed, I suppose when everybody throws the "safety" clause out there (wheelie bars, roller rocker arms, 4WDB, etc.) it's convenient when trying to get something approved. When it's not convenient towards getting something approved, it's a hassle.
I've had roll-cages with nets. I really can't understand why somebody would spend the time and money on a full cage and skimp on the $55 net and GM seat belt latch. One click and it's latched.

And to Ian Hill, I looked all over the rule book. Can't find any reference to "3/4 weld" with gusset" being adequate. Can you point the readers here to where in the rule book you are referencing? I'm no engineer, but I'm sure some stress testing would prove an incomplete weld with a gusset isn't nearly as strong as you would like to think it is. I do know this, if I was looking to buy a car and it was full of incomplete welds, I wouldn't buy the car. That in itself tells me a bunch of corners have been cut.
