I'd put on a drive shaft loop weather i was racing or not, have you ever 
seen a car do the pole-vault. My friends dad did it once in a circle track 
race he filmed and it was plain scary. My dad worked for Dupont and safety 
is king there. they had a saying" accidents don't just happen, they are 
caused" usually the result of poor planning, lack of safety devices/training 
or user error. Heck i worked there one summer and had to were eye 
protection, a helmet, large leather gloves, a work suit, steel toe boots, 
ear protection, a harness tied to the ceiling and a spotter just to change a 
lightbulb, a little over the top but there was no way i could get injurred 
doing it. My dad still cringes when he gets in the coronet with the 
neck-breaker bucket seats and no shoulder belts.
