Great...ANOTHER safety requirement (read:stupid decision) by the SCCA...

I'm still (and always will be) upset about ST not being able to use REAL tires....lol

I don't get this...
Club Racing requires airbags to be disabled, and the likelihood of hitting something that hard at an autocross is slim to none unless the safety stewards did something terribly wrong.
Not only is this stupidly obvious, its completely unnecessary.

But on that same idea...would I have hit my head...if I didn't have that extra 2" of "head" lol?
