What is frosting most is IMO, its not the cost, its the lack of logic, fairness, data, etc to back up the claim for 2 years re cert.
Exactly.
People keep throwing out the piss poor argument "full safety vs no safety" which simply isn't true. Everyone wants reasonable safety regulations, people are arguing if the one being discussed is reasonable or not.
Quote: It is SFI who set the standards not NHRA contrary to popular belief.
That may or may not be true but SFI doesn't need to put asses in the seats, NHRA does. If race belts are failing (which I can't recall a case) in such a short period of time perhaps we should be outside belt manufacture facilities with pitchforks and torches. Clearly we are being sold junk.
The fact that NHRA will blatantly allow a Hellcat or Shelby Mustang or Corvette to run without safety equipment mandatory for everyone else speaks volumes.
