On the subject of a 4 point harness. I can put a harness in my car and would like to, but I don't have a cross bar behind the seats. I would have to string the shoulder harness from the floor (frame rail) behind the seat up and over and into my lap. I know this is not NHRA legal, are SCCA specs the same?

Last time I checked NHRA said the shoulder harness mount could not be more than 4 inches below the drivers shoulders.

any thoughts?

I don't know at what year signals became "law" and if all states require them. I use hand signals which (as far as I know) are perfectly legal.

I think some kind of shoulder belt would be a good idea on a road course where speeds will hit triple digits.

If the shoulders belts are too low then the problem becomes spinal compression on a bad accident. Also, the longer the belt the more give (stretch) there is since the material will stretch so much per an inch of length.

All of that said, if you run just the lap belt then be sure to wear a helmet.

On the signal deal I'm just grumpy since it's one more thing I need to do... I was going to wire them in eventually.. lol

You can hire a hooker in pahrump but you can't use hand signals or cut lanes on a motorcycle.:D
