Second autocross of the year. I envy you guys on the west coast who can track year round.

Appreciate the attached video. But, you shouldn't be racing with just the race harness. A roll-bar need to be installed. I'm surprise you passed the tech inspection.

He's just autocrossing guys, not like he's out on a track day event. My region doesn't have any issue with bare arms for autocross.

As for the harness, we do not know, he could have a half cage or a roll bar. If not, the angle of the harness going through the seat doesn't look terrible. Other than I'm not a fan of how it looks like its beginning to pinch together.

Again though, it's autocross, not track. For track, I would recommend long sleeves and a proper half cage or cage to run the harness. For autocross, as long as the harness is securely fastened he's probably okay.

A harness is not really a safety restraint in autocross since there is basically no chance of getting into an accident. The only reason to use a harness in autocross is to keep yourself from getting tossed around in the seat.

All that is required in an autocross car is a lap belt, per the SCCA rules, so obviously, he will pass tech literally anywhere in this sport.

There are no rules on clothing in autocross, except that you can't walk around with your **** hanging out.

Car has to have at least a harness bar, the camera is clearly mounted to it.

Testify's point stands though. There is no need for a cage in autocross. The speeds are generally considered low enough and the venue open enough that an incident is unlikely. Another point is that putting a cage/roll bar in a street car generally renders it unsafe for street use.

Agreed. One of the best clean, mean looking hatchs I have seen in a long time. It look like the suspension is set to zero camber setting.

Thanks! It's the Thermal R&D 3", although that angle is deceiving.

Fronts are at 2.25 degrees and rears are 2 degrees. Not a ton camber, but enough to give me even heat/tire wear at most tracks.

I am currently running some OTS Tein SS I bought when I was still daily driving the car. So 448F/224R.

I will be replacing those soon, just haven't made my mind up which direction I want to go.

We all know how dangerous car racing activities can be. Yet, there are organizers that risking the lives of drivers and spectators

I completely agree with you guys. yet level of such events in our country is pretty much amateur. of course it is all on our own risk.
