[QUOTE="Elliott, post: 344642, member: 1090"] In my opinion and that's all it is, the window opening is the biggest opening, and most likely where your arms are going to come out of in a roll.This happened several years ago at summertown, guy got knocked out,, the Buggie went on its side with his arm hanging out and his foot on the gas, the guy lost his arm over this accident from what I was told. Everyone has their own opinion on safety, it all boils down to what these race promoters want this "sport" to evolve to.But two things are going to have to happen, 1 safety for drivers, rigs, and spectators does need to be addressed and appropriate changes made 2 payouts are going to have to be bigger, right now it's a joke at most races, 1,000 bucks to win after taxes becomes 700. Think about what it cost to travel several hours to a race pulling a trailor with a rig on it, not to mention hotel rooms and food, and the broken parts that are involved with this style of riding. Let's say there is 2,000 people at a given race with everyone paying 15 bucks a head that's 30,000$. I know there has to be money givin to the park to cover expenses but damn let's get these guys pay up. These racers will wise up and start only hitting the big money events because that's where the crowds will be expecting them to go. [/QUOTE]
