In my opinion I don't like the halo bars because if you get upside down it could tear out the tube because of the leverage factor and compromise the cages integrity.
When it comes to wings I think they belong on at giant 3/8 or 1/2 mile tracks but 1/4 or small 3/8's leave them at home.

Bob O I think what the other Bob was talking about would be called anti intrushion bars like them dumb ol arm guards that everybody either loves or hates. That big hole over the drivers head is now his most vulnerable and dangerous spot. My son did end up upside down between turn 1 and 2 with his wing facing traffic. He did get hit right in the middle of the wing by a car behind him. Had not that wing been there the nose of the other car would have been in the cockpit with him all the way up to the front axil, I thank God for that dumb old wing.
Granted as winged 1000 cc sprint drivers around here gets better they do seem to like to take their trainers off and race ala natural. That does expose them to this big old hole in the roof. Fortunately wrecks with the top pointing the wrong direction don't happen very often but when the do it would be nice to be ready for it. All idea's and comments appreciated.
