Exactly right. Thinking back to the 80s with a 450hp 69 Firebird with GW and Herb Adams suspensions stuff I did some really stupid stuff. At the time there didn't seem to be a proper outlet for my PT car other than Glendora Mountain Road. I'm a little wiser now. Thankfully I found my way to the track on my motorcycles and found the difference between riding at 7/10ths and 10/10ths.

Well I do and it does scare me a bit.
It does come down to do you plan on driving it 10/10ths or not.
I can't disagree with the possibility of a high speed crash and the difference in outcome with a full cage vs a 5 pt.
But to that end do you have a fire suppressant system in your car or do you have a Hans device? If you are preparing for the worst then you should prepare for the worst right?
I don't know what I'm convinced of yet but I think it is a good thing we are all having this discussion.
