NHRA seatbelt requirements
 

What are the requirements for the belts (4 or 5 pt harnesses) to be NHRA legal and allowed on the track? They have to be 3 inch belts right? Also without a roll cage what is the legal mounting for them?

i think to need a harness you gotta run <= 10.99

Re: NHRA seatbelt requirements
 

It isn't an issue of needing them, the car already has them, I just want to know if they are legal.

Ricer. :P You won't ever need them. :P

Re: NHRA seatbelt requirements
 

Unless you run a certain speed, like faster than 10.99 like random said. A shoe string would be legal for nhra. But certain gay tracks like RT 66 make their own rules. like if you go 13.99 you need a helmet.

Well, on cars that are required to have a harness the harness has a limited life time, how often you are required to replace the harness depends on how quick your car is.

most tracks you gotta wear a helmet <= 13.99. all over here you do. kinda sucks when you hover around 14.00 lik ei did in my integra

Re: NHRA seatbelt requirements
 

12.99 or better at the local track here, we used to get hassled all the time. Ran 12.2 the other day and haven't had a word said to us in the 3 visits this year, they're pretty shoddy about keeping up on things.

if its bolted directly behind the seat, your going to crush ur spine when u crash. in order for a 3/4/5 pt harness to do any good it has to be mounted horizontal to the seat (straight back from your shoulders)

think about it. if their bolted downward, when u crash the belt pulls down, therefore crushing ur spine and ------ you up. if its straight behind you, it pulls you to the seat, nicely.
