Need to change this Rule..
Quite excessive

That's why it's nice to know there's a certification process, Curtis. All we know about belts at any price is that they passed the minimum spec.

So they must attach fake SFI tags on them, that must be why they are so cheap.....maybe NHRA should start putting how much you paid for belts on the tech cards, then maybe start a seat belt tear down process?

Just sent a set of belts back to Pro1 and they said ships back recertified 3-4 days from their receiving them.

They use the same belt material on the latch and link belts as they do on the cam lock belts. The hardware is nicer on the cam lock belts. I just took set of Racer Direct belts out of the car last weekend. They were expired. Put a new set of RJS belts in. The belts and hardware were exactly the same. They were both cam lock style. I am sure all of the belt companies are getting their materials from the same supplier. And possibly being made by the same manufacturer.

Guys, in my shop I couldn't pay a person to assemble and inspect them and still sell them that cheap. Something has to be cut somewhere to do it. Just my opinion though. I use Stroud belts.

Very valid point Curtis. That is why the SFI foundation is an integral element of racers safety......

What is there not to like about this deal ?
I switched over to them for the belts. Have them now in the Gremlin, Dragpak, Dakota, and Nova. I color matched the logo to the cars, its a nice extra option. There are two more cars in the fleet that will need some belts hopefully soon.

I also tried their racing jacket and pants, and shoes everything is very well done.......shoes fit my wide Texas born foot, so I ordered another 2 pairs for inventory.

Belts are on their way back from Pro1. Very quick turnaround and was $85.
