Title: Harness? Post by: Ohio Ironhead on May 22, 2009, 12:02:05 AM How long are the 5-point harneses legal to run?
Title: Re: Harness? Post by: sfreitas20 on May 22, 2009, 11:17:18 AM If you are asking how old they can be, that answer is 4 years in USAC and 2 years in QMA. If you run in both sanctioning bodies like many do, you will be replacing them every two years. I personally don't get the 2 year rule as I have seen belts that are 6 months old that should be replaced and belts that are 6 years old that didn't need to be replaced. It should be based on the condition of the belts, not the age.
If you are talking about 5 point harnesses in general, they just became required in USAC with the new anti-sub belt requirement. Before that you only had to use a 4 point harness. Title: Re: Harness?

I just wanted to know how long a set can be ran in a car.
