Disable airbags on daily for track day?

[T-LDN]

I have a mk2 1.8 mx5 and I'm hoping to have my first go at drifting this week - long overdue!

I was wondering whether I need to disable the airbags incase I have a little bump on the track...? It's my daily driver, nothing really done to it apart from lowered on coilies, what do other casual drifters tend to do?

I'm not sure how sensitive the mx5's are. I've some minor crashes in a few different cars and never had the experience of an airbag deploying in my face lol

thanks

I would say that if you were going to get it that wrong that your airbag would deploy 1. You probability want the airbag going off, and 2.it will likely be the last of your worries!

From what I have seen, people just leave them 'live'. I've seen quite a few knocks on drift days but not seen an airbag going off as yet.
