How do you make an 8 second car safe for the driver? I know the whole roll cage and racing seat/ harness and relocating the battery but is there anything else they do?

Certified cage, fire suit, shoes and gloves. Helmet of course. Trans scatter shield, drive shaft safety loops I believe two places, parachute, c-clip eliminators for the rear axles, locking dipsticks, no anitfreeze, electrical shut off switch. Gong that fast, I also believe that you have to get a liecense for that type of speed and times. These are things off the top of my head, I'm sure there is more.
And an extreme license running 7.50 or better (I believe that's the cut off).

Don't forget the neck brace! You also can throw in a parachute after 150mph.
