post part 2' and after raising the cage almost 3". he added a X braes behind the driver. Audie's cars build with crumpling zones to soften the shock that the drivers would feel if he didn't. we runs Swartz for the past 10 years. And we stand be hind Audie Swartz ! and this past week I watched Jackie run at Southern Ohio Speedway. and win lead all laps in both his heat race and the feature. by 10 car length's. if Jackie didn't believe he was in the safest car he wound't be driving today.

Yes buy a Swartz Race Car they Thee safest late models on the track. Audie Swartz stands behind all of his cars. and soon as something comes up and challenges his designs he does Changes that no one will do cause of cost and weight of car. but his bottom line is TOTAL DRIVER SAFTY!! Jackie took thee hardest hit on the top left side halo that Audie had ever seen. the next year his designs featured a double post .095 Chromemoly tube on of 4 corners. raised the height of the cage by almost 3".

@slot962 you dont know anything about how these cars are built nor the structure of roll bar pipe so dont talk like you do. this is the same pipe that nascar uses and if it wasnt safe i wouldnt be here today but because of the structure of the cages the craftsman truck that i hit the wall with absorb the impact like its suppose and im not talking about a little bounce off a wall either im talking about wide open throttle 90 degree impact at 100mph so dont talk about stuff you dont know about

@slot962 Obviously you dont if you say street cars are more safe than race cars.

Like I said, go roll your car at those speeds and let us know how things turn out.

[slot962]

@yoitsjoesmoe Do you know how thin they build the tubing in those ? Obviously you don't. I know a little bit about racing buddy.

@slot962 Not safe?

Do you have a certified 5 point harness that has to be changed every 2 years in your car? Do you have a fuel safe fuel cell? Do you wear wear a certified saftey full face helmet everywhere you drive, while wearing Nomex fire suit and glove? I think not.

Go roll your car at those speeds and tell me how you feel afterwards.

I love when people say it's not safe ok go roll your import see If you survive I bet not these are safer then any thing probably the safest sport in my opinion I'm racing a late model next season I'm moving up from a go kart whoop whoop big times here I come
