I thought Big Willow required cages and a 5 point harness, which probably 90% of the street cars listed don't have.
Are you sure it's not Streets of Willow? The safety requirements are not so stringent there. Big Willow is a fast track and it's easy to hit triple digits. If you eat it, you eat it BIG. 25 people on that track can get pretty crowed too.
I just spent the weekend doing the 3 day Fast Lane Driving school. 2 days were spent on Streets, with our third day on Big Willow. Even with the amount of track time we got and experience we picked up, we still managed to eat it a few times in some underpowered ZZT231s on Big Willow hitting triple digits.

A group of less experienced drivers with much more horsepower without cages or a 5 point harness at Big Willow just seems like a bad idea.

Guys, as I stated in the thread, this run group will be the "novice" group.
Instruction is available.
The map you see, is the course we will run.
And we ask that you don't drive beyond your limits, lol
If the group gets to big 30+ we will split the run groups into 2.

Questions concerning the roll cage and requirements for big Willow have been asked.
Personally, I believe being on the big track is better, since we will have more room to operate and let the fast cars pass.
SOW, you cant really pass, and its a very small track compared to big willow.

Went to SOW last year with Redline and I had a passenger in my car as well as rode shotgun in my buddy's WRX.

I guess it depends on who's the organizer...
