That's pretty much what I've been saying but this fellow Upscale seems a
bit
miffed that his idea couldn't get off the ground. God bless him for
thinking and even for thinking out of the box, or wierdly, since that's
where all truly good idead really come from, but he sure does seem
sensative
if his ideas aren't embraced by one and all.

No, I'm not miffed in anyway, it's just that sometimes I get caught up in
the heat of the discussion. Obviously, I'm lacking a certain amount of
knowledge as to why an air bag wouldn't have some value in a race car, but
only because I'm a true believer that just because something hasn't been
done properly yet, doesn't mean that it's impossible.

It's possible to shoot yourself in the head but that doesn't mean it's a
good idea.

I was the driver in an accident once that should have resulted in my
death, but I came away with a simple cut on my hand and that was it. When
I show a picture of the smashed vehicle to people, some refuse to believe
that I was in it during the crash. A seatbelt saved my life so I'm all for
the advancement of most all types of safety products for cars. But as many
here have told me, we're discussing racing vehicles, not family cars.
