You know 4 pt. Harnesses are designed with the intent to be used with a helmet, right?

If you know anybody who professionally races, and is older than 25 (read: has EXPERIENCE), they'll tell you how important a helmet can be. And they'll also tell you how important a fire retardant system is, when you can't remove your 4 pt after a heavy crash. I'd be curious to find out how effective 5 pt harnesses are on off track applications.

i know.
a friend of mine has a track car with 5 pt harness and has to wear an insane amount of fire-proof clothing and a helmet..one with the visors
and i believe it depends on how fast your car is on the track
but wouldn't it be hard to have the 4 or 5 point seat harnesses on stock seats right?
im pretty sure you would need aftermarket seats
im not sure tho
