crunk81us Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Errr....No. Hypothetical situation: You have an accident, the car ends up on its side or roof. Which is quicker to release so you can get out of the car/emergency services can extract you, a single point lap/sash belt or a racing harness? The single point, all day, every day. ^ This. how about this situation.. you're in a 1970s 4 700kg 4 cylinder car and have the more likely accident of a heavy impact with something heavier, newer and safer..u want ur non inertia reel type seatbelt or the harness? and i think the harness still would be easier to release if you are upside down. Have you ever been upside down in a 3 point? you can't unclick them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boosted Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 You can't meet minimum CAMS spec in a closed car with anything less than a 6 point cage. The front legs mean you can't license it in any state that I'm aware of (not full rego anyway). This doesn't mean you can't bolt a harness bar between the rear strut towers and have a proper harness installed for your track days. Half cage is only going to help you in the case of a roll over and the help is going to be somewhat limited. You have to have a fairly big off before you'll squash the roof down far enough to cause you issues. More likely you'll spear off the road and hit a wall at the track and squash the front of it in, half cage isn't going to help at all in that case. It's also extra weight to carry around.
