Racer Suspension

I believe the topic is on a racer being out of compliance on a safety item. Plain and simple. In all situations a cool head will have a better chance to prevail too. Like everything else in this thread its all rumors and hear say from the racer/owners perspective. I would like to think that NHRA had sufficient grounds for making this call too. Its unfortunate for the individual, but a rule is a rule.

IHRA is fine for everyone that can pick and chose to have those options. But in the midwest its either an unsanctioned track or NHRA within an 8hr drive. Either way it does not matter what xHRA you have its what track or series you want to attend. And like everything in life, as soon as you roll onto someones property you play by their rules. If you don't want to play by those rules go somewhere else. If you can't afford a $150-250 set of belts every 2 years you probably can't afford the fuel to just get to a race. Again it's the rules that we know full and well before we leave the house to head to the track.
Anyone sitting on a pile of outdated belts, there is ebay. So you can knock off a minimum of $25 on your new belts for the old ones you get rid of.

People pay $11+ for a gallon of fuel but bitch about a safety item really?
