I believe the seat belt rule took effect after an accident at a Englishtown Divisional in the 1980s.A friend of my dads Jimmy Galuzi,[Spelled wrong]was driving a candy apple red angula in super comp.Car was powered by a injected small block.It was windy but he crashed badly and died.The family sued everybody .. car builders safety equipmenytNHRA Etown.Belts WAY OLD.But there was no rule .This is what I was told when I asked why we need new belt every 2 years. Could be wrong but that's what I was told...
