It may  not have made a difference but doesn't the Virginia City Hill Climb 
 
sanctioning body require 'full 6-point roll cage or just a roll  bar?

When I ran the Pantera in Mexico they changed the rules to  add the roll 
cage 
requirement after one of our Pantera guys (forget  his name) was killed in 
Ensenada Road Race (Jack-Mike??) 10 years  earlier... he reportedly went 
off the 
road in the Pantera on a turn with  just the roll bar and went down an 
embankment 
and landed on his  roof.   The same rule applied for the La Bufadora Hill 
Climb  
when I ran that....everyone needed a full roll cage. 


Its not  the fall that kills you....its the impact

FWIW, we had a death at the  Virginia City Hillclimb outside Carson City 
(now with a changed name &  new sanctioning body) over the weekend. Young 
guy in 
a Porsche Turbo drove  off the side of the mountain at pretty high speed. 
Seat belt, shoulder  harness & current full-face helmet still left him DOA 
at 
the bottom.  Dunno what actually did the deed- no fire, anyway. Gotta know 
your (and  your car's) limitations... J  DeRyke
