    If they are requiring that, then they should be ashamed of themselves. It is not in the rulebook.

    Richard, I'm sure you are correct, but it's the local tech inspector(s) we all have to deal with at the events. We run a 11.90 Index VW which has run a quickest run of 11.11. Not only do the inspectors require a net in our chromoly caged car but they also request/require that we run with arm restaints since we have a 1960 Bug with an original "cloth sunroof". Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate that they are not selling safety gear for profit, just trying to lookout for us to have racing fun and to do it safely. I think that racers sometimes don't understand the inspectors have a tough job.
