[QUOTE="slravenel, post: 718188, member: 1068"] Most of them are like that because...like it or not...there are a large pile of bouncers that are not built for safety, they are built to "look cool" and get youtube likes. There are lots of reasons that people give, some of them are valid...but look at most of them, they have a roofline so low that they have to put a mohawk in the middle of the cage so their heads fit in. They stare at the back of the motor or the underside of their severely raked roof, there are rarely firewalls or personal protection, they run open headers dumping right in front of their feet, etc etc. As you start to see some of these purpose built race bouncers you start to see some of them building more in line with safety and I think that trend will continue. They are getting taller, they are using better seats, they are building around a good suspension...I think its all going in a better direction - you have to remember that its a super new world of racing compared to the others that have been around for a long time and there is way more safety tech in other racing. There are quite a few bouncers that I wouldn't want to ride down a dirt road in, but are launching themselves up super steep hills in a timed race with the drivers eyes closed and his foot held to the floor until hes upside down 200ft down in the ditch.
