While I work on updating the site today and getting the photos up on line, I just had something I wanted to say...
I will be posting up images on the NEETS site from Duane Garrison's #666 4 cylinder. Duane took a VERY hard hit to the driver's side of his car...
If you did not see the incident, you will be able to tell from the photos why this is such an important issue.
If Duane did not have a roll cage, he may very well have had to have been pulled out of his car by EMS. The stock body panels are crushed in around the roll bars. Had those bars not been there, Duane's arm or leg could have possibly been tangled up in that.
This is just a reminder...why NEETS is so focussed on safety. We want to keep racing cheap for the racer's, but being safe on the track is priority #1! Our tech inspector was very satisfied by the safety measures taken by the racer's at this event...I am glad to hear good things as such.
The last thing you want to do before you get behind the weel of a race car is out weigh your own safety with spending money on simple things that will save you.
