Funny how things get started. Maybe after 25 years of trying to get an industry compliant "kit car " standard, KLAYFISH may just have got it started.

Much like the NSRA...if your car does not meet the golden "23 rules" (now 24 I believe), you will not get an NSRA safety sticker. Many, many company's demand you have this sticker to get insurance.

Why can't "we" as a family do the same thing? You have to have properly mounted seats, proper seatbelts also mounted correctly, datum lines have to be met. Brake inpsections, STEERING inspections, safe fuel systems, proper locking doors,etc.
("Period Correct" does NOT mean safe!)

Fellas, we are all decendants of Manx! Think about it. A VW chopped frame with what we call a dune buggy body. Today most of us wouldn't even think twice about getting into one of those and zipping down any freeway, USA at 70 plus mph!

I tried to get this started many years ago by working with some of the manufacturers, all with a "ho-hum" attitude. Maybe the time is right. Maybe we should do this? Maybe?

Steve, Klayfish, be carefull. I know what happens when you simply say, " lets have a picnic and eat chocolate chip cookies!"

You Sir, might be the man "we" all need!

DV..can't step on my toes fella, I do that all by myself
