Hi guys,I have a dumb question:Why is an OEM belt set up OK even though it is 40 plus years old,but an after market 4 point only good for 5 years? The factories must have some pretty special material available...OR am I completely missing something??

Those of you on the list got confirmation emails.If you pre-registered and were on the previous list and are not on the above list, please go to The Driver's Edge website and click on the Registration button for TWS May 16-17 as per my individual email instructions that I sent out over the weekend.He is holding your spots and waiting for you to register. We have had a couple more cancellations. 114 registrations within the first 4 minutes. Even he was surprised... It is a popular event and with TWS disappearing, lots of people want to drive it one last time. CVAR ran their last event there in February and there were 250 cars!For all you folks who have a Pantera but are proposing your ‘backup car', please do your best to bring the Pantera. After all, it _is_ a Pantera event. You've got almost 3 months to get it going! That’s good motivation!The question was asked 'Are mufflers required?'
Tom Upton races there all the time and he responded:
"Track has same as SCCA. 104 db @ 70 ft, but I have not seen it being enforced even though I went to great pains to meet it."
New information - This is important. PLEASE READ.One of the guys here asked about seat belts. The Driver’s Edge accepts stock seats with the standard three point belts. However, if you have upgraded to a racing seat or a harness you must have an anti-submarine belt.Some confusion results when people talk about this. For example...My race car has a Simpson snap latch system consisting of:Lap belts - 2 mount pointsAnti-submarine belt - 1 mount pointShould belts in a V to a single mount point - 1 mount pointTotal 4This is acceptable to The Driver’s Edge.
Personally, I will be upgrading my setup to a 5 point by separating the shoulder belts so it works with my Hans device better.CVAR, SCCA and others are all saying you need 5 or 6 point mounts. The 6th is a ‘Y’ anti-submarining belt.
If that’s not clear, let me know. This may generate some discussion, but that’s OK. 4 point to some people mean two lap belts and two shoulder belts with no anti-submarine belt. This will not be accepted.
Also, your belts will need to be within the acceptable date range. If they are older than 5 years, you really need to change them!
Thanks,
Kirby
