The failure of a 40 year old seat would probably be at the mounting positions.I'd say that the car owner,not NHRA would be the moron,for not checking the mounting bolts and possibly reinforcing them if they were suspect.NHRA has a 2 year rule on belts,a little overkill maybe,but if anybody waqs hurt due to a belt problem this board would be alive with criticism of NHRA because their belt rule didn't protect the driver.What ever happened to personal responsibility and looking out for yourself when you assemble/race a car?
