Safety

Rocky 3 car never required it. Lowmead 3 car doesn't require it. I just think its pointless to have a comp that any joe blow enter on 31s for fun change and say cages compulsory.

More cars go over social driving than at comps.

I just think its stupid but hey whatever ayyyyyyy

Lowmead 3 car does require all of that Sheildsy!!

The only way it doesnt need a cage is if it has a stock engine.

And Morc has had multiple roll overs over the years and Lowmead has also had a few with some which could have been quite serious if it was not for the roll cages!

Like I said...whatever


And it's shieldsy

The rules are there to protect the occupants of the vehicles. Simple.

Noms open this Thursday!

Good on guys for bringing in more safety into your comps. It will only take one comp to have a bad accident and someone get seriously hurt due to a lack of safety and the insurance companies will shut us all down or charge us ridiculous amount of $$ for coverage. Then they will have something to complain about.
