Seat Belts
With all of the recent talks about "excessive" braking and NHRA not enforcing and then enforcing their rules, Lets talk about seat belt adjustment...
Look at the NHRA sportsman page on NHRA.com. It shows two dragster somewhere down track, The driver in the left lane has his head sticking out beyond the rollcage. Now clearly this is not very safe. As any driver that has crashed and they can tell you how much seatbelts stretch during a crash. As someone that has a letter from NHRA about having my visor up as I left the starting line, it makes me wonder about equally they enforce their rules. With that being said, it doesn't alter the fact that my visor was up when it should've been down. I received a warning and continue to comply with the ruling. When a rule is made with regards to safety, it would seem to be hard to lobby against allowing someone to continue to do it.
Now, don't even get me started on people not wearing their safety equipment.....
