I've long said that safety requirements should be based on the ET/MPH, and chassis construction of the vehicle. (and potentially that of the other cars in the class). Setting safety rules by class designation makes no sense. I drove one Super Stocker that had a different set of safety rules depending on what stickers were on the windows.
I ran the Turismo at a big money Box race this year, and drew a Top Sportsman car first round. I broke out .001, then looked up to see the guy sideways in front of me in my lane. Had he lost it behind me instead of beside/after me, it would've been ugly. They're never really beside you... they're either 400' behind you or 400' in front of you. THROUGH you... not so good.
