anti-sub straps

[Darren]

Of course Eric, blanket rules on this stuff is silly.  Bolting anti-sub straps through a weak spot in the floor is stupid.  Some cars might be strong there, some it might not.  The floors weren't intended to carry loads like that, so you have to know what you are doing when you install the harnesses, of course.  Nobody should be reading this thread and then decide to go into the garage and drill holes.

There have been several cars that I have refused to ride in because of the harness installation.  This is primarily at non-PCA events, though I've seen it there also.  One car was missing a seat bolt and the subs were hooked up to the seat bolt, totally wrong.  It's almost always the anti-sub belts that have issues.  I always inspect them before riding in someone's car.

I don't understand why racing rules are being referenced -- if we're going to default to racing rules then how about letting racing log books satisfy tech?  I mean that in a constructive way, no disrespect intended to Paul.
