Depending on where the last fuel stop is, I may drive my car from SEMA to the event.

Optima Ultimate "Streetcar" Invitational

you got a spot foe the fairlane this year at sema? where?
the closest fuel up before the track is only like 15-20 miles away. and comming from the convention center it really to far of a ride.

The Fairlane is one of four feature cars for Optima, I don't know if they have picked the booth car yet, we'll just have to wait and see.

I spoke with the staff at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch and Jimi Day from FM3 Marketing (Optima), about the harness requirements in our cars. Both of them said that factory seatbelts or the equivalent will be OK, the 4 point harness statement was a mistake.

That's funny... lax on the safty aspect yet you need to have working turn signals.. lol

My guess, and this is just a guess, not all "streetcars" have a 4 piont harness, but by law you must have turn signals to drive on public roads.

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?
