Prodrift Ireland- 2012 Rules & Regulations

[B&G Extreme Drifting]

Ive been rallying for years and always wore a peltor open face ,found them more comfortable and never had a problem at scrutiny do you know I think this helmet thing is down to image,R

Yea thats well and good man but we r talking about safety here, and you have even said its more comfortable yourself, I said visibility is prob that bit better. But my point is a bad impact and the front window smashes and bits are flying about the car or god forbid a part comes of an opponents car straight through the window and for your face/head my question is are them helmets goin to save you?? NO THEY ARE NOT!! If your gonna say that is never gonna happen you would be in denial. Never say never expect the unexpected. again difference of opinion I never told you not to wear it Im not like that your decision but me myself I think there as good as having a pot on your head. Full helment or none!

right reading what comments came up so far heres what i have to say.

Dash doger cages (like john explained) are weak at the s bend around the dash and make an easy crumple zone. mike fitz's dash moved back with the floor also so it's a weakpoint at the bottom to.

fire extinguishers etc imo i would have a handheld there for my own sake but a plumbed in is not needed but optional. being there is more than enough fire extinguishers around the area.

where plumed in is needed in rallying is that there's not a marshal at every corner!
there is a couple of good points tho comparing these regs to rallying but there is some things to take into consideration.

as for the helmets. if your window is down it doesn't take a crash to get debris in the face! tires, stones, bumpers, fibregalss etc. at the end of the day it's your safety on the line. if anything no1 would give a fuck as to your safety so i'd appreciate the fact there is!

jaaaaaysus who pissed in bob's tea!? the way sum lads are goin on bout safety they must walk around the place in bubble wrap everyday and wear fire proof gear and helmet driving there daily cars to work u could be in a 100mph (2 cars going 50mph head on) collision brining ur granny to mass but u dont put a cage and harness in ur daily car but all jokes aside all this 'what if' is a load of shit, practice days are still drifting and just as dangerous and theres no need for fire proof anything or a cage, why do lads get on there high horse bout safety just because its 'prodrift'??? id consider a practice day at mondello alot more dangerous then prodrift at a small track like ennis! if the safety preachers are so concerned maybe they should start wearing all the fire proof gear at practice days and not just prodrift, or else come off there high horses, at the end of the day drifting is suppose to be fun and im jus here to party in git's pants!
