To all of you who think that a driver should be able to wear/not wear whatever he wants in a race car: Buy or lease a race track. Tell everyone that this is what you're going to do. Then call an insurance co. to get coverage for your track. Oops! You're out of business. They won't cover you. Even if you would find an underwriter to cover you the premiums would be more than you could pay. Why? Because the same people (competitors) that you're trying to impress by being so "cool" about this would be the same people to sue you when they bust their azz or fry in the car. Insurance companies know this because they would be the ones to pay when you got sued. It is why we have insurance companies. It is why we have laws. To protect dumb azzes from themselves. It is why people such as Bill Simpson have devoted their lives to making racing safer. Racing is inherently dangerous but that doesn't mean you are required to take more chances than needed. :headbang::headbang::headbang:
