There are 2 questions that popped up in my mind as I read.
1. Did you eliminate all the Air bags in the car except maybe the front dash and steering wheel?
2. I did not see anything written or maybe I missed it, on a onboard fire control system that I thought was required for your speeds.
Thanks again

Hey Mike - Thanks for your compliments. They are much appreciated. The SST has been quite the undertaking so I hope that others can learn (or avoid) things we did along the way.
1) The air bags are physically still in their factory location, but any that are directly blocked by the rollcage were disabled. Part of the trick with the factory computer/wiring was all of the items tied to the airbags. Wanted to make sure the ones that add to safety remained enabled.
2) I thought I stuck something in about the fire suppression - maybe not. Anyway, the car has a SafeCraft RS-10 system that has 3 discharge locations - Engine Compartment, Passenger Compartmen and Fuel Cells. Don't want to be part of a cookout...
