Peoples priorities are often mixed up.

Its great to have a nice track car but not worth getting killed in it because you wanted to "be comfortable" driving without a cage, fire containment, harnesses, etc.
Absolutely. No matter what group you run with, with or without a real "tech", we are ultimately responsible for our own safety and answer to our families in that regard.
