I understand what your trying to do. You trying to take it off the street and be safe. A good landing strip is great to open one up BUT remember one thing. You loose it, roll it or crash there is no one there to hear you scream for help when your rapped in twisted metal. Thats a haunting thought when your alone but when your at a sanctioned track they have the jaws of life to open that twisted heap of metal up, get you out and life flight your butt to the trauma unit. I have seen hundreds of high speed crashes in my 30 years at the race track and only one fatality. Our team had the most horrific crash in Pro Stock history. Without the safety crew and life flight we all know what would have happened. Its call the golden hour. If you sustain internal injury and trauma like in a high speed crash you have about 1 hour to arrive at the trauma center or your chances of survival go down by 80%. At the track it takes about 30 minutes to get you out of the car and on life flight.
Just something to think about.
