Some thoughts on the safety checklist.
First, is this going to a list of items to determine the basic strucutral integrity/ build quality of our cars or are we assuming that all the cars are basically structurally sound and we are looking for things beyond that like seat belts, fire extinguishers, etc.

The reason I ask is this- if the purpose is to determine the structural integrity/ build quality of the vehicles because of concern over "home builds" (which is a legitimate concern- not everyone's skills are the same), what about all those cobras that are sold as turnkeys or turnkey minuses? Will they be exempt from the safety checklist? For example, if I can establish that ERA built my car to a roller or a turnkey minus am I exempt? Are all SPFs exempt? What if you had a professionally recognized builder assemble your car- is that car exempt?

And a related issue, who would people take their cars to get a certification that their cars are "safe" for purposes of this organization?

Just some points for discussion to get this moving . . .
