you know the two year seatbelt rule is a waste of money.i have piles of seat belts in my storage shed. i am in the wrecker buss. i pull cars out of the bayous around houma LA all of the time and when the window is down and the vehicle is not upside down i reach in and hook my winch cable to the stock seat belts all the time and pull it out of the water.now that stock belt is half the size and half the thichness and most of the time 20 years old. about a year ago i posted on my facebook page where i was holding a 1989 olds cutlass completly off the ground with one seat belt winched high in the air from my wrecker.i wish i still had that pic.but i did send it to the emmons bros facebook page.so you tell me that the race harness is weeker than a 20 year old stock belt!!!!!!

RCI latch belts are about $80 plus 20 recert fee plus 12 to ship them back = $112 for four years use. That comes out to $28 per year. Why would anyone make counterfeit SFE tags for belts?

I have known Bob and Bugs for many years are they are not the type to counterfeit a SFI tag, especially on seat belts.

Many years ago Impact Racing (Simpson) was caught with counterfeit labels on their equipment.

Nevertheless, Bob is not the type to do something like this and if the inspector had an attitude, we all know Bob would have not been gracious if he was being accused of doing so..

HEY BILL the paints that I am talking about are those light weight paints that look like nylon or some kind of light weight material that you can just put them on over your regular paints before you make your run. Hey if you dont believe me come to Carolina the second weekend in June for the IHRA PRO-AM race and see for yourself

I fail to see the correlation of someone wearing the wrong pants and a counterfeit sfi tag. That being said I guess nhra wants to make sure you got good belts on before they send you down a crappy track like they had at Vegas.
