Seat Belts

Cam lock or the standard latch style?
I see both at my local tracks.
Both seem to keep people in the car when the need arises.

Are the cam locks worth the extra money for an average fair weather racer?

I've heard from several people, and I believe Hooker Harness's, that you should avoid the camlock style on a dirt track. Too many moving parts in there that can get gunked up with dirt, and they won't work properly.

I'm sold on that idea. All my tracks are dry and can't see the bumper slick and reapated washing etc. Thanks for bring that up.

I' ve been using cam locks for the last 5 years ( not the same set) .We had dirt jam it up 1 time,wd 40 and air blower fixed it.

old style, i had a set of cam locks and they came unlocked twice. once in hot laps so i moved the wheel a little further away and once during a race luckily a caution came out. you wanna talk about scary

[Lizardracing]

Are you saying the wheel hit the camlock and released them?

Aren't some buttons and others levers?

[riddle28]

yea the wheel grabbed it and turned it. the ones that have the lever might be ok but ill never own another set. Hookers are what id get if i could afford them

Just call and get you some Hookers , After you run then and they get out of date just ship them back and they rework the belt and send it back to you . Plus Hookers are MADE IN THE U.S.A 815 233 5478 . Scott will take care of you

Last time I called and got some hookers...er....nevermind.

Thanks for all the advice. I bought a set of RCI's. Been using them for 10 years and they also recertify.

You for sure need to get the steering wheel away from the twist style cam locks. Doesn't take much to get them unlocked, never had them unlock during a race though, imagine I might shat myself if they did.
