[DeTomaso] Seats/5+6 Point Harnesses/Silver State

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

You'll be okay without a slotted seat as long as the seat is secured and the harness is properly installed.  

You need to secure your shoulder harness to either the bar that vendors sell or use preferably use a a bolt in 3-point roll bar or full cage......do not use Bob "Gumball" Levitt's method of securing the shoulder harness to the Pantera...It looked good but would never pass tech for any orr or track event.  ;-]>  

If you re-use the original  steel seat belt plate cover on the floor next to the door you need to grind out additional space for the 3" wide lap belt so it does NOT roll over. Tech doesn't like roll that. ;-]>

You'll need to do the same thing on passenger side if you are using a naviquesser.

     Ok,  so I'm shopping for new seats.  I want to run the Silver State eventually in the Grand Sport division which requires 5 or 6 point harnesses.  From the rules section,  it appears that I don't need a seat with slots for the crotch straps?  (Presumably no "strap ons" will be involved)?  So it appears that any seat will be ok,  is that correct?  Or do I need anything special in a seat to meet the requirements?

Thanks,
Art
