Dave, what context should we take here, you feel you need one becasue of Art's crash?

Speed was abig factor in the extent fo damage to Art's car. He didn't have a roll cage nor did he have a 4 point harness, the later of which probably saved his life as the impact foced him out of his seatbelt rolling toward the middle of the car. For that reason I no longer advocate installing a 4 point harness without some form of roll hoop. I think you have to play the odds a little and the odds of a rollover crash vs an impact are much lower, unless of course you are doing over 160 mph and lose control.

There was a recent GT40 crash that resulted in a passenger fatality and the driver having been in a coma for months, with I believe the injuries partly attributed to the roll cage.
