I've decided to make the next Run to the Coast event my goal for getting my car going. Doesn't leave much time, and I may not make it, but it's also the kind of event I want to set my car up for.

I want to be able to run the car in these types of events and drive it on the street as well safely.

I read Bill's thread on the RTTC section, and of course Steve's thread on safety has given me some ideas.

Any suggestions with out going full race? Stuff a new guy would over look?

3pt belts are a given, I plan to bolt a fire extinguisher in reach once I figure out a secure way.

Will I need a battery disconnect?

What other things can I do to insure I pass tech? This will be a street car, so the negatives of a full cage, like head injury in a fender bender make it not an option. However, in the interest of safety and the install of a bar, there will be no rear seat.

Whose roll bar should I look at? I plan on some Corbeu seats and 5 pts.
