We invite you all to share anything regarding building and driving safe cars.  Safety should be a concern during construction by following safe practices as you work on the car and making sure the car will be safe in case of an accident on the track.  Let's not forget safety while on the track.  Drive smart and just like on the hi-ways, look out for the other guy!  
This forum was inspired by Dave Mackey who is a racer concerned not only for his own safety, but for the safety of other racers out there too. So let's support this effort and feel free to add your comments here, all are welcome.
Safety wire Dave, you bet.  We used it extensively in aviation to insure all bolts stayed bolted.  It could prevent a hard hit with the wall just as it prevented a hard landing from 1000 feet.
