Since Pete's probably too modest, I shall give you his good news. He got a JOB OFFER from BSR to be a red shirt instructor and teach government guys how to drive. That and occasionally educate us lowly hobbyists/racers.
Congratulations Pete. Now you might break even on brakes and tires!

Anyone want to chime in on this? It's news to me. I was planning to run OEM belts with my race seats for street driving.

Here's what I posted on the harness thread:
skapur, you're a lucky bastard. Are you going to run Laguna Seca too?
I don't follow this at all. A sturdier seat in a crash with or without a roll over would be safer. The stock seat hinge isn't a player because the seat belt locks you into place during the crash so you can't "flex" with the hinged seat.

[QUOTE=robrob,Feb 21 2011, 08:45 PM] I did the BSR Red Shirt instructor thing a few years ago and it just wasn't for me. You guys know how much I love being on the track but trying to teach a 60 year old woman from the State Department how to do a high speed j-turn was enough for me to give it up.

Here's what I posted on the harness thread:
I guess CKit was trying to say that it would be unsafe because the seat might keep you more upright in a rollover (the OP in that thread didn't have a roll bar). So it was strictly a stock seat vs fixed back seat debate. I don't think he meant to bring the OEM seat belts into it, but who knows
