IMO any driver that doesn't use the proper safety equipment IE: multi-layer fire suit, fire proof underwear and gloves, head and neck restraint system but yet will spend tens of thousands of dollars on their race car/engines/haulers are simply ignorant and show they could care less about their family and friends.
