I thought this guy's comment about bragging rights, getting banned, street creds, etc. was pretty telling....It's a lot of money and effort for the short lived fame of "I'm banned"....I doubt any serious drag racers will see the benefit of this ban as a bragging, epic climax to spending well over $100K...:
"The one thing I find missing from all this is the mention of a roll bar. Just as with the C6 Corvette ZO6, NHRA Rules Section 4A, page 5 say you can't go quicker than 11.50 without a roll bar. The Demon doesn't have a roll bar, either. So your dreams of 9 second, 10 second or even 11.49 seconds are dependent of adding additional safety equipment, and if you eclipse the 9.99 mark you'll need a Snell 2010 or better full face helmet, an SFI 3.2A/5 Jacket and Pants, SFI 3.3/1 gloves and SFI 3.3 neck collar. You will also have to install a drive shaft loop. All that to get to brag about being banned?"
