Re: Harnesses & Rollbars

I have a little trick that I call the "poor-man's harness".

While your car is on the grid, get into the seat and fasten the seat 
belt.  Snug up the lap portion first.  Then, recline the seat back far 
enough so you can QUICKLY pull the belt and get it to LOCK somewhere 
close to the normaly reclined position.  Hold the belt in the locked 
position and adjust the seat back UP until you are snug in your seat.  
My car has explosive safety tensioners in the belt reel so I don't get 
it TOO tight.

Make sure and shut your door before doing this as you may not be able to 
reach the door once you are "locked" in by the belt!

I once started this procedure after the headphone and microphone were 
hooked up between me and the instructor.  As I started to recline the 
seat back, the instructor said, "Let's first talk about your seating 
position."

After a quick explanation/demonstration, he wanted me to wait until he 
did the same.
