racing harness

[slowmo]

I was at a DE event at Putnam Park (great track in Indiana) last weekend. Saw two BMW's with 5 point (?) harnesses that looked like they were anchored using the seatbelt's in the backseat. There did not appear to be any permanent hardwear. Unfortunately I never got a chance to ask the owners.

Is anyone familiar with something like this?

Thanks

Hi,

One shoulder harness can be atached to the rear

seat bracket that holds the rear seat up. The

other shoulder harness can be fastened to a weld tab

in the back. Look at the rear carpet and you will

see preforations that can be cut with tin snips. The

weld tabs are under them.

Thanks Paul. Any idea where I would get them? I checked some of the usual sites, but they all seemed to attach to roll cages.

I bought G-force belts at OG racing. I will

look for some stuff tommorrow morining.

Here is a write up I did for a friend of mine.

First you need to classify your car. Go to this site and enter your car. Remember to save you password so you can modify your car later should you get racing tires, etc.

For picking a car number go to this link to see existing numbers used. This list is not perfect.

Then you should read the rules. You will need a suit, gloves, helmet, fire extinguisher, and 5 point seat belts. Below is the link to the rules. Look at rules 3.2 and 3.3 for time trials.

Then come the Brey-Krause parts. You will need R-9001 for both seats and R-9003 for both seats.

Here is the link to the g-force belts.

Here is the fire extinguisher bracket.

Here is the fire extinguisher. You should be able to find something less expensive. A halon extinguisher is nice but not required by the rules. The extinguisher must have a gage on it.

Here is the link for gloves, suit, helmet, and shoes.

The last thing you do is take your car to a shop and have them fill out a tech form. You will need two forms because you will also fill one out. Here is a link to the tech shops.

Here is the link to the tech inspection form. Once this form is filled out, you will take it to the track and get a sticker. These forms are filled out once every year.

The last thing you might need are signs with your number. Here is the site that Gary and I used. They will let you use tape.

Good luck and see you at the track. The easy part is filling the car up with gas and driving it. There is a lot here and I may have missed some hardware stuff, but call and I can help you out finding stuff.
