Quick release racing steering wheel? Thoughts?

Meanwhile, even a harness can still be harmful with how much your head jerks forward and risks if your roof ever collapses in a rollover.

If safety truly goes first, stock airbag+seatbelt setup is the safest on the street.

I have a wheel, seat, and harness setup in mine, and instead of a quick release, I've since swapped to a spacer. I needed the wheel a bit closer to my body too. I found the spacer to have zero play, while my NRG quick release sometimes had enough to bug me. I never had issues getting in and out of the seat with the steering wheel in place.

So regarding the "play" .........That's another thing I'm worried about. I don't want any play in the steering wheel when turning. Did you have their newest model of quick release hubs?

If it were me I'd wait till you have a cage with a door bar to get the quick release because there is no real need for it till then besides looks. DO you research now but hold off in the install.
