I completely agree with not getting out of the car.
the thing you need to remember is adrenaline is pumping when you take a big hit like that, not to mention being upside down

did you see the force of the impact? imagine if that was a frontal impact, yes you need a HANS, that little POS doughnut ring he was wearing is only a placebo, it might reduce lateral strain on your neck when you are driving, but it not going to help you in an impact.


also another reason that the "i just do HPDE, or time trials, so i dont need a fully race prepped car" is such a reflection of ignorance or stupidity by the person saying it.

I understand its a "business decsion" to allow cars out on the track in hpde
3-4 w/ out fully race prepped gear, but IMO, its a poor one.

if it makes it so guys cannot afford to then track their cars because the safety gear is not affordable, then tough luck, tracking cars is not cheap.

I am biased as i do run the race group, but its also because i always see the stupidest things happen in HPDE, which is really just racing w/o an organized start at the levels 3-4 anyway.
