Repowered Classics

[ERC]

Fair comment Graeme re roll over requirements and I tend to agree that is also a major factor. The current regulations are totally over the top and highly inconsistent and even Crunch is chasing this one.

I do believe that decent overalls are important though, as we are running older cars where a burst fuel line and fire is probably far more likely than a roll over. The response time at our tracks is likely to be well outside the 30 second window that a decent set of overalls will protect you. I'd also be happy if gloves were mandatory too, as fire is extremely nasty and like Stirling Moss, the thing that most of us genuinely fear.

If we counted all the race meetings held over the last 60 years, the number of drivers, laps and distance covered, we'd probably find that the accident and fatality rate was considerably less than on the public roads...
