factory seat belts
 

Racers, what is the performance level limit [ET wise] where a factory seat belt assembly is legal. [with factory seat and 8-point roll bar]

If NHRA says that you need a rollbar, then you need an SFI harness. The last that I looked, it was 11.50.
They HAVE come up with some new rules regarding bars and harnesses in new, fast completely stock cars. I don't exactly know them but I'm sure you can find them in the Rule Book.

In our older cars @11.49 you require a rollbar and Harness/Jacket.

Thanks Billy and John, I appreciate the info.

In my late model Corvette, I can and do run 10s without
the requirement of a roll bar or a harness.

However, I AM required to wear a fire Jacket.

Go figure how that makes any sense!

The nonsensical way that NHRA comes up with these various rules drives me nuts.
A strong class action suit would be beneficial for all. But of course, that would involve herding us cats, and NHRA knows they have us right where they want us. Besides, I'm sure their (our?) lawyers let them know what they can do.
I'm sure that just by posting this, it reinforces their beliefs, as I can't believe they don't monitor this forum, at least to some degree.
