A lot of us have gone faster than that without a roll cage, a roll bar, racing harness, seatbelt...or even a car, for that matter. Just a millimeter or so of dead cow.

In the lower class Stockers you can run a 50 year old set of seat belts, but you can not run a set of aftermarket seat belts that are outdated by one day.Go figure.

Lyn, you can here in Div.1. A couple of us asked if we could use an out-of-date lap belt instead of a "50 year old set of seat belts" and we were told we could.

I had a conversation earlier this year with our div tech director at the Seattle div race, he said that you can run out of date seat belts in any application where a roll bar//cage is not required. In this particular case, the racer had installed a roll bar in a lower classed stocker that did not require the bar. In that case, he does not need to comply with the harness date issue. As I said this came directly from our div tech director.
