Crunch Time!

Just when I had the car ready for the up-coming event at VIR (March 28-30), I noticed a rule change in the NASA CCR stipulating that any restraints other than factory stock must meet racing rules.

Since I have 6 point harnesses, and fixed back seats installed, I had to abide by the racing rule-set. I carefully reviewed my harness mounting, and while the shoulder straps were definately in compliance, I wasn't sure about the lap belts & sub belts. I had them mounted to the seat mount, instead of the body of the vehicle. After a few inquiries, I found out that this was not a proper set-up!

I ordered some harness mounting eye-bolt sets, and will be working to correct the mounting of my harnesses tonight!

T-minus 4 days & counting!
