Before this subject deteriorates completely into good natured humor I'd like
to add a couple of thoughts--
-- I don't think we should try to write any elaborate and constricting rule
changes around this issue, especially the process of exiting the race car,
at least at this point.  I'd much rather trust the judgement of the race
officials and the centuries of experience in the LSR, particularly the SCTA,
communities.
--In my on again/off again street roadster project (now "on") I spent a good
part of the year mocking up a succession of roll cage configutations out of
1-3/4" exhaust bends and 1-1/2" EMT before coming up with the right layout
to package the drivers(one 6ft, 170 lb; the other 5'7" 190 lb.) for
entry,belting in, driving and exiting. (a good electric fan helps when
tacking the EMT).  For me, time well spent given the cost of fabricating the
final roll cage.
By the way, Glen, I don't think your friends here are going to let you off
so easily........
