I think Mr Gray has shown where the problem lies. There is so many ingenious and talented people who race in Class, Comp, S/G& S/C and brackets that I'm sure, they can built a safe and affordable unit of their own choosing without having being forced to buy just one NHRA proven system. This is North America where mechanical talents are still valued, I've flown many type of aircraft and I depend on the aircraft mechanics to use Millbar pliers for installing the safety lock wire so important in Aviation, why couldn't we trust this system for all bolts system. Let's see and compare the price: $2@foot , bolts with hole $2. Never in my life have I ever seen a bolt once secured back off. Claude Ruel
