Long, long ago, with total inspirations of doing a good thing, our idea was forced to the way side mostly from a few members of the "Gasholes". They had their points and strived to tell us "we" didn't need any intervention. Insurance company's in multitudes quit insuring these cars. Even today in 2014 it can be hard to get insurance. Klayfish, you were right then, you are right now. Of course Mr. DDS Semko "we" feel and honor the family of the deceased, to indicate other wise is a dishonor upon itself.

My biggest concern at the time was the way guys and some builders put these cars together, that was all it was, period. NO regulations per us, strictly suggestions that you could follow or not!

This particular fatality "seems" to be strictly driver error. Not because a rubber gas line was not secured, not because the roll bar bolts were wrong, or the seat belts were torn loose from improper mounting, no...truly but sadly ---driver error.

Klayfish-Steve, I got personally reprimanded by many of a group that could not, or would not take a moment to understand what you so elegantly stated above. To me it was not worth the embitterment, the name calling, etc. We could have very easily got Ohio behind this with NOTHING more than official support. Since Columbus is the Insurance Capital of the world what better place to put an all volunteer safety program in place for our cars?

This latest victim and all the prior victim's of these special cars will never be forgotten!

May they NOT be forgotten, and always remembered.

PS. By God MEAT, your post was, was, well damn it, it just was.
