this is where i disagree fully. his option was, and should be to be on the track with a fully prepped car with cage and harness/hans BEFORE going out on the track reguardless of what the track organizers say is needed /not needed.

I am glad the guy is OK...............if he was in a noble, that just cost a ton of money in damage to the car.
another reason why a spec miata, or a cheap formula car is a great choice.
one you can just abandon at the track, the other is designed to be repaired easily.
Noble/Elise isnt either of the above, but it will be a big hit financially when you ding it.
be safe.
GET THE HANS, and the rest of the stuff before you wad the car, not after.
learn from this video.
