I know it will probably get into a whole bunch of legal liabilities with certification.... etc, but I'm sure there will be a lawsuit if someone is injured badly or god forbid someone dies in a crash.
I don't care how good the driver is, things can happen on the track that you can't control. I had a guy in a Ferrari blow an engine right in front of me at corner 10 exit at Vir in the spring, I drove through oil at probably well over 100 mph and went off sideways through the grass, it could have been very bad had the ground been soft and the tires dug in.

This has always been a big concern of mine. A lot of these cars are very high horespower, not set up for track, drivers that arent expeirienced in a " race" environment and may push things too hard because they feel thats what their car and cababilities SHOULD be able to do. Things can go wrong very quick no matter who you are. Its going to have to be addressed.
