I will likely put up a feeler and see what happens. I think the value in the CR is how it performs in bone stock stock form. Once you start modifying it heavily its not much of a CR.

The question was will it be a competitive disadvantage. Not will you die if you hit something.

For me, proper seats and harnesses made a huge difference. I no longer had to lean on with the door with my left knee mid-corner, and that enabled me to left-foot brake. I also could feel the pitch and slide of the car a lot of better, and catch the rear before it turns into a spin. Under hard braking I can modulate the brake pressure easier when I'm strapped to the car/seat, instead of trying to resist my body flying forward.

But yes, death would likely have been swift had I hit anything.

If you don't care much about safety or regulations and more about keeping yourself planted in the seat you could always do this: Ballade Sports

or this the electro magnetic thing that modifry used to sell for the factory 3 point harnesses.

for a lot less headache and cost than a proper roll bar.

for reference tut hit T10 at like 90 mph with a 3 point and airbag kept him alive

What was the worst crash you have had?

I've had a few, seen more, some up close and personal. They were never expected. Once in them, there was never any control over what happened.

It seems like the HPDE organizers keep a pretty tight lid on things. There are lots of crash videos. It seems most of the fatalities are known. Reports of injuries don't seem as public.
