Seat Belts again............
 

I asked a friend who runs a car in SCCA Pro Solo (pilon racing)
about how long are his 5 point seat belts good for, he said for his
car there is no time period. His car has a street production classification.

But I was reading a old magazine dated 2004 that said the SCCA required
hanesses be replaced every 5 years in some of the faster classs's......sure
makes NHRA look like a money grab as has been said before.

Looking at my SCTA -Land Speed Racing 2011 Rule book-All belts shall be in good condition and have a manufacturer's tag with legible date not more than 5 years old on the label.

I saw a few 400 mph runs and a boat load of 300 mph runs at Bonneville this year.

If NHRA (not sure about IHRA rules) really wanted to help the little guy out, raise the year limit on belts and nets to 5 yrs or so.

Re: Seat Belts again............
 

Sure wish this would come to light. one can dream , can't they ?

Re: Seat Belts again............
 

Even an extension to 4 years would be a help. Yes I know it only costs
so much to get them re-certified, but add that to everyother item plus
the $$ grab from NHRA for membership, entry fees for each race and
the "little" guy can only afford so much...........

I made the mistake of buying my seat belts too soon, then ran into other
problems with the car and just life and the car is not finished and the belts
are now out of date......

Phil,
I've made that mistake more than once! Lesson learned, the LAST thing I do is take care of belt purchase or recert.
