Why do we continually use the super classe as track testers?

John D brought up a good point on driver safety which I feel is something that also needs to be addressed. I do watch a lot of the other classes race besides just the two I run in. I do see several drivers, in dragsters or open bodied cars who you can see have half their helmet PAST the front hoop of the cage. How is this possible unless their belts are not very tight? I also see guys I race against in Stock and Comp who don't pull the belts very tight so they can judge a faster car. What is going to happen to these people God forbid they crash? How is the safety equip supposed to do its job if it is not being used properly? This is not to excuse the track conditions at all, I just feel strongly that it is another area of concern.
