I agree, I would. But where do we draw the line?? Look at Woodros or Peter Biondos crash where they lost their brakes, I feel they both would have benefited from having a parachute more so than an aftermarket seat. Where is the outcry for mandatory parachutes..you know..for safety

I would bet the average age of a stock or super stock driver is a prime target for a heart attack. Maybe we should all be required to have electronic shut offs like the pros...you know..for safety

I see some racers using stock axles. Maybe we should be required to use wheel tethers as well.....

Racing is a dangerous sport. If you don't feel comfortable within the current rules, don't race, or pick another class.

I'd like to know how many crashes have occurred in stock over the last 10 years. I'm not trying to insinuate that someone needs to get hurt before we make a change. I'm just asking.
