Trak Ratt has one HoF thread
Default Seat/harness/roll bar

Lots of talk over the years about the down side of tack seats/harnesses in cars without roll bars or cages. Honestly we tracked our SC for years with just a bolt in roll bar of the type mentioned below. Roll overs like this are pretty rare but then cars are getting a lot faster than our SC. Pretty much a personal choice, balanced against the odds.

"This accident was widely circulated a few years back. This Mustang had a bolt-in cage without proper floor plates or boxes installed. Noticed the bottom left picture, in the circle the cage punched straight through the sheetmetal floor of the car. The roof completely collapsed, but luckily both people in the car walked away.
