I would say on a closed track like that, where everyone is paying attention to whats going on, I would actually feel safer.

I rest my case.

I think we as a society have gone from one extreme of no child safety to overemphasis on safety.

(e.g. I remember sitting in the front bench of the family station wagon with no car seat and no seat belt. yeah yeah I am old...)

Of course I don't recommend reckless behavior, but a lot of us have grown up in a less safe time, and we all turned out ok. Too many damn hippy liberals scaring everyone into bubble wrap....

(steps down from soapbox)

Nope. Rush Hour traffic IS pretty crazy. Never wore a seat belt when I was a kid either. I'm just saying, I wouldn't put someone in the car that needs a child seat and go out tracking. (Just a little higher risk than going to the mall)
Anyway, as I said great video and nice cars.
