They are required because so many people NEVER do any maintenance to their cars. Thus not catching when tabs break or bolts come off. Just another case of all of us paying for the mistakes of others. Just like insurance....

FWIW I have seen this happen on three seperate occasions and always on dragsters. Where it should be easily seen if guys ever looked at their junk. Imagine tire shake is causing it to happen.

And what happens when they don't maintain the teathers and they fall off?

Yeah,I would like to see how those long tie rods last under severe vibration and other types of harmonics.The shorter the connecting method the stronger.We still maintain the standard flat bar and tabs will do the job.We have never lost a collecter in all the years We've raced.To disallow this method is stupid imo.
