[QUOTE="ndvalium, post: 1763646, member: 8445"] The challenge I see with that, is if it isn't full race set up then what are you truly testing? Vehicles, cages and crashes will be different from something simple as fuel load let alone everything else. A vehicle will behave differently if even a hood is not on it. I completely understand what you are saying however I have seen a "nothing" crash kill an occupant and a car that no one should have walked away from, finish a race. The parameters for off road are so different and nearly impossible to test in my opinion. I think some manufacturers are fairly active in looking at what their vehicles went through. I have seen Geiser Bros inspecting chassis after accidents at races as well as their shop. I will assume also that Jimco has done similar since Lofton has crash tested more than most of them lately. Even the professional levels does not do crash testing such as NASCAR. They review after though as a sanction body and make recommendations David Nehrbass Motorsports Safety Solutions [/QUOTE]
