Way I look at it is as long as it fits within the rules let the driver run what side arm guards or no arm guards as he wants. Hopefully it doesn't happen, but if he gets trapped and killed in a fire due to the panels blocking off the escape then that was his choice it'd be bad to see, but we're racing death is a very possible thing to happen. I'm all for left side enclosures, but not all the way up to the dash like the KKM or CMR cars. This isn't the 70's anymore. (Even though them cars were beautiful.) People want to preach safety, but then say "let's run no side panels so we can see the driver do his thing." That makes no sense. I personally will probably adding a left side bar and panel to close the car up some more on the left probably elbow height or a little more bending down. I've gotten hit enough by rocks or big pieces of mud and want to have less of a chance on getting hit in the left arm by another car.
