I appreciate and respect your concern KB. I do go to the track when I can, and I want to go more. Yep the seat hinge bolt had backed out over time, I addressed it as soon as I noticed it in editing. I don't claim to be an expert, but I trust myself to give a fun ride without excessive risk. I leave a large margin for error. The car looks faster than it is, your NA hotrods are probably much quicker. You're right, all I would add is that I think there is a balance we all make between having a blast in an old shitbox and being reasonably safe. Everyone decides for themselves where that balance is, mine probably requires some adjustment as I turn up the power.
Thank you for the constructive criticism!
