Racing Harness recomm.
Figured this board would know best. I want to install a racing harness for HPDE's and such, but i'm a lil confused on how its supposed to go together. I know the Scroth bolt on belts connect to the rear seat belt bottoms, like in the how-to forum, but i want to get a Sparco/GSC/M1 harness bar and run them into that instead.
My question is how the hell does a belt "attatch" to the bar? And what sort of belt/brand to ya recomm. for it?

You could run a 5 pt and modify the seat, but most people don't.
As far as the other harnesses attaching to the bar, it loops over, back through the buckle, then back through the buckle a third time.

Did you say "only" 1 HPDE per month? Haha, I wish there were that many available out here. We get about 5 per year within a 2-hr drive and 7 within 6 hours.
Anyway, what he's saying is not for you to get a cage but that you shouldn't be using a harness without a cage (or roll bar). You can use a CG lock for $40 and get a lot of the holding ability of a harness without the risk.

Indeed, it's great because you get track time, but it sucks because the "urge" is there more often to click away at the schools and watch your bank account go poof. Anyway, what are your thoughts on a Schroth Profi II-FE asm in a cage configuration then.

I would keep the stock seatbelts until you put a rollbar or cage in. I had an M1 harness bar and sparco 5pt before, but I feel much safer now that I have a rear cage in. I am using a schroth 6pt now.
Here is info regarding the wrapping: http://www.schrothracing.com/info/2

As long as you have proper roll protection and a slot in the seat-bottom, just about any 5- or 6-point 3" harness is "a good choice." There really isn't too much of a difference between brands.
There's no true racing harness that you can use without roll protection. There are plenty of 2" tuner belts on the market...but these are not true harnesses. They are simply NOT safety equipment. They are either purely for cosmetics, or only serve to keep your butt in the seat. If you crash, they'll generally do more harm then good.
Then get a 2" tuner belt. And make sure you never crash
