Speaking only for myself, not for the SEB as a whole here...
I don't think this was the intent. I believe the intent is that the
steering wheel may still be replaced, and the replacement need not have an
airbag (which is as it is now). All other front seat area airbags may be
electrically disabled but not removed (that's the new part).
I may have that wrong, though. I really should look through the SEB
meeting notes to determine exactly what the intent was.
If you have concerns about how this one ends up, write a letter!
Send your well reasoned letter to the Solo Events Board at seb@scca.org,
or to the postal address listed in the front of your rulebook.
