The design is nice, the price is not. I did not know there was such an immediate need for a solution to this "problem"? I can think of a few other "problem" areas NHRA should be focusing on rather than a rogue collector every 100,000 passes.

Too funny!

Can someone please remind me why he ^ is allowed here?
Really, I need to know why.
Or, I won't be able to sleep at night.

Ed, 2 questions first you stated "that now there is a need" now this statement , exactly where do you come up with any real evidence this is true? Yes there are some high end operations out there...but for every one of them there's 50 that get by with the minimum just so they can field a car. I realize for a man of your financial status $200 is chump change you prolly tip the guy at taco bell that much. Many of the racers you're accusing of "crying" have personally built their own stuff, cars, engines, ect. some to save some money some merely for the feeling of accomplishment of doing it themselves. I believe you used the same "argument" when a year ago I was stating my distain about buying a new window net every two years. REALLY it's not all about the money it's about the reasoning behind the rules, that's the issue here. If I felt like this were an actual problem that needed addressed I'd be all in, what the heck my collectors cost around $800 so why would I chance running over them? Apparently people capable of building competitive race cars aren't capable of properly fastening the components? Yes I realise it's a rule...however is it a good rule implimented for valid reasons ? Please feel free to inform us of all the times you've personally saw a collector get shot off a car, I can tell you how many times I saw it since 1982....once. Oh and BTW I don't have $100,000 in all my stuff...car, truck,trailer, and golf cart.
