This seems a bit odd considering theres no regulations about how the harness is attached to the car. Surely eye bolt spreader plates like the ones sold by DW, http://www.driftworks.com/catalog/im...olt-plates.jpg, are far smaller than the specified 5sq" seat spreader plates and are more likely to pull through the floor.

Dont see the sense of it if the harness possibly comes detached from the floor but the seat remains in place.

We try to leave a fair bit of the regs upto commonsense Steve as we do not want to overload people, strange though as when we brought out regs in 05 what an uproar that caused, and now drivers are asking for more more more information and indepth as well, shows its working and people are getting an understanding

Mind you it seems every other Drift organisation/championship/series is picking up on our rules and regs in some way and copying them it seems, good to see others following and implementing our standards of safety
