Paul, where does the 7th attachment point come in? 3 cr0tch belts? ____________________________ 2017 and 2018 Osage Casinos Tulsa Raceway Park No-Box Champion 2018 Div4 Goodguys Hammer award winner | |||

Single crotch belt. There are 2 smaller belts near where the side belts are that come out and wrap up under the leg towards the crotch belt. We've ran 7 pts in our Spitzer in Top Dragster since 2017 and in our new Miller since 2022, no harder to buckle than a 5 pt and worth it. Thought I had pictures but can't find any at the moment. | |||

With many S/C cars now exceeding 180, you might soon see this rule apply to them. If this rule change saves even one driver it's worth the effort. Bob | |||

I considered the 7 point, and may still go that way. I've got attachments that prevent me from wearing the belts as tight as I would like. Close, but just not perfect. The 7-point addresses the # 1 factor in a good restraint system, your pelvis MUST remain firmly in correct position, everything else will stay with it, with proper attachments.

I am all for safety but why middle of the year and not in the off season ? and What is the belt change for did something happen to cause this change ? Jake | |||

Not that there can’t be a better mousetrap, but has a properly adjusted 5-point harness ever proven to be inadequate in a drag racing accident? Tony Leonard | |||

No, none I'm aware of or have ever been publicized.. I do think there is an issue with seat belts in general though, and it's not a seat belt issue, rather the wearer of the belts. I can't even begin to count how many times I've seen someone get into their car and just slip their belts on, keeping them loose and not properly tightened up. It happens a lot more than most will admit, and if there has been ANY issue about restraint failure, I'm willing to bet this is a MAJOR cause of that.... Me, I try to get my belts as tight as I can.... Mark Goulette Owner/Driver of the Livin' The Dream Racing dragster www.livinthedreamracing.com "Speed kills but it's better than going slow!"

We don’t know if they are inadequate because no one ever tells the cause of someone’s injuries or death. There was a top sportsman driver that got ejected out of his car a few months ago and no one ever said why it happened. | |||

It was upside down on the jersey barrier and roll cage slid between barrier where they are coupled together perfectly. Ripped the entire roll cage out of the car Needs to be a Molly plate above the cage covering the roof of entire drivers compartment | |||
