Every time I have ever taken an expired 5 point harness to a swap meet, they have always been purchased by a circle track racer, you know, the type of racing where hitting the wall or another car is a constant occurance. Apparently, my 2or 3 year old belts that have never experianced any impact loads are not safe anymore in NHRAs eyes, but are just fine for a roundy round racer.
