I don't plan on doing anymore track days. Oh sure, I would get the neck brace and helmet straps but I didn't want to invest $800 in the set up for one weekend. I would suggest Cobra drivers are at more risk driving down the freeway than going around cones on a closed course. I don't see too many Cobra drivers with full face helmets on the freeway. Just saying....

I would agree with you. I feel significantly more at risk on my motorcycle surrounded by semis and teenagers texting than on the track, which is why I'm a proponent of ATGATT (All the gear, all the time). The quandary I'm facing with the cobra is open cockpit, single hoop, lots of power, and short wheelbase. Can't see myself on the track without a suit, gloves, shoes, nice helmet, and a HANS device. That's just me I guess and if I look out of place so be it.
