    Word has it the new 7 point harness and helmet shrouds will be mandatory in TAFC next year...

    After working with Steve Harker last weekend and we had a parachute get tangled up under the car...I certainly agree the helmet shroud is a good idea. If there's a better harness out there, I'm all for it.

    I read that force had a 7 point harness. where are the other two? around the chest? I can't picture where the 7 points would be. obviously I haven't seen one

    I wonder if you can just get a new bottom belts? It looks like all three of them are connected and attatch to a single hole in the lock

    We have been making 7 point belts for many years now, have them in my own car. If you have our belts the 7 point can be added to your existing system without buying all new belts. We are also a distributor for the Butler Built head restraints. Please call me direct if you have any questions. Thanks, Dennis Taylor 800 320-2988.

    Dennis / Will --

    On the Rule Revisions on NHRA.com it states that funny cars must have this by May 18th of 07, it doesn't specify Nitro F/C,

    Is this going to be mandated for us then as well?


    Thanks,
    Nancy

    funny car vs TAFC

    nancy,

    the class designation for nitro fc is Funny Car. if they meant to include us they would designate it. they never just lump us all together under one name.:)
