Rob, look at that guy's harness. Completely off his HANS. Shame on his crew chief.

These guys were running a short halo. I think part of their configuration is that they put a premium on visibility for the Rolex 24. With all the dissimilar passing that goes on they don't want the halos or side nets in the line of sight. They're using the halo for head support so they put their side nets low for shoulder and arm support.
My side net was raised about an inch after this pic was taken. It runs just below my line of sight but high enough to support my helmet in a side impact.
I was surprised how lose some of the side nets were. When the guys were weaving for tire heat their side nets were moving side to side.

Yea, that is not cool. I also wonder about side nets that run/curve around the seat? I would think that at direct /taut line from dashboard to rear hoop/harness bar would be preferable?
