Seeing how Eldora had a fatality last year in a late model due to lack of a containment seat I can see why they are requiring it. Anybody who is not running a containment seat is really gambling with their lives. Don't give me the cost factor, if you can afford a sprint car you can afford buying a containment seat.

And if you can't afford the containment seat, then you can't actually afford a race car.

Next thing you know, they will require roll cages.

Hopefully that date stays at Liberty. At least 2 of us are going to try it again.

Eldora has the right to set their own rules.
But I will say Eldora NW sprint situation is about 100% better now since BOSS than before BOSS.

BOSS Lowest count was 33 at the Blue Collar Bash, Almost more than the fan count as it was a windy 38*

Not to underscore the importance of safety but I remember when guys didn't even run padding in the seat, because it added weight, not to mention a headrest

I'll always advocate for drivers using all the safety equiptment available to them. However I feel it's their responsibility for themselves.

Your statement above isn't exactly true, Padding adds slack area to the belts when bouncing around. Even todays seats aren't really a cushion padding. It is form fitted hard foam. It's also a reason not to have the cheap aluminum seat. You start bouncing around in a flip and they bend. if your body moves, your shoulders slide out from under the belts. Seen it many times in the 70s-80s.-90's before containment seats came around, The car would come to rest and the driver would have at least one shoulder belt off of him.

Where are you finding this information at, i searched all over their website i cant find anything pertaining to rules except for stock cars.

Me too
