Harness expiration dates

[larrybard]

As I understand it, three-point belts are verboten in the upper run groups.

Don't use an instructor? Well then you will never advance.

1. Maybe I've been looking at a different version of RTR "Safety Tech Info" than you have. The one I found posted on the RTR website does not say that "three-point belts are verboten in the upper run groups." Rather, 5 or 6 point harnesses are "strongly encouraged." (Which is not to say that I disagree in the slightest with RTR -- I have had 6 point harnesses, etc. starting with my entry into green.)

2. I "will never advance" if I don't use an instructor? I guess you're suggesting that all white drivers -- or maybe only me??? -- should have instructors, otherwise they have no hope of advancing to black?
