I haven't started any petition to NHRA or anything. Sheesh.

I guess you could go by bracket rules and not wear a helmet, firejacket or fire pants in a 15-sec Stocker, too, but I choose to wear them. I felt perfectly safe, too, right up until a car went sideways in front of me in my lane at 140+. I was just bringing up some self-preservation thoughts. To each their own.

Wasn't referring to you, Michael.
Someone mentioned maybe it was time for all Stockers to have a roll bar. I can't find it at the moment.
Helmet's not a big investment that one has to put into a Dime Rocket to find out if it's worth pursuing..It stays with the driver,,not the car.

"To each their own" My point exactly.
