I don't recall a single car at any texas race this year being driven to the track. YMMV
Ok. I didn't think the discussion was about driving to races. Jim boemler has driven to races for years. Not Texas races, i know.
There is also a guy at Cresson who races a bmw, and drives to the track with a tire trailer, races included.
The satement was regarding keeping the car street legal, in general.
The Texas safety inspection doesn't require dot sestbelts. Airbags are not required. So, it really very easy to keep the stickers active. It doesn't cost much, and I can drive it in the street if I need or want to.
I have no intention to drive to the track for races, due to the obvious risks of being stranded and forcing others to be inconvenienced.
