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.
I do plan on putting a cage in with a harness bar. But at this point, I'd be racing 1-3 events with just the OEM seatbelt.

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?
