We have had 3 incidents with off courses-
1- a SS Corvette at the State Championships almost hit spectators due to poor course design and the fact that they were less than 40 from the course (not my event it was run by buc region)
All of our O/Cs have been safe. If youd feel safer with a roll bar then so be it. I am just trying to quell any doubts you have with the safety of the site. We dont get going too fast we just carry all of that speed throughout the course. Our courses are usually 3000-3500 long and last a minute.
I was at the State Championships spectating and riding in my friends 240sx turbo (the purple one) and I was right where those spectators were up until about 5 min. before that incident when a Porsche 911 almost did the same thing so I decided it was time to move back. The reason I am concerned so much w/ rollovers is the fact that all I have is a 5 point attached to a harness bar which is not a very good setup but its all I got right now. The site I usually run at (Palm Bay/Valencia) have a much less chance of coming in contact w/ grass or dirt which reduces the chance of rollover. I want to run at Gainesville very badly but I dont feel 100% confident nothing will go wrong w/ the grass/dirt runoff area.
