Well stated! I hate rules that exist just because "that's the way it's been done" . There should be a more systematic approach than this cobblestoned hodgepodge of "this will be allowed on Friday nights and every other Wednesday" lol. I'm just screwing around now but seriously I think the biggest thing in my mind is the failure of porsche to do a better job of setting up the system too begin with. They knew these cars would be tracked, they talk about it in the owners manual. Why didn't they design a safety system with that in mind. "oh well there's a roll cage". Fine but there too high for 5 points. "Will don't forget about that awesome windshield bracing". You mean the one that only goes 2/3 the way up? So much for the broomstick test counting for **************** when that crumpled 6 inches. "oh, well the factory restraint setup is great as it is". Yeah sure, with minimum grade hardware and a latch position now allowed by any racing body if placed there by your hands.

Ahhh **************** it, safety third!
