Petition to change the NHRA seat belt rule

Somebody posted this on the FE Forum, and I thought it was worth re-posting here. Anybody who has taken a perfectly good set of seat belts out of their race car just to conform to the NHRA's 2 year limit on seat belt use can understand the reason for this petition. The petition is to change the 2 year limit to a 5 year limit. Go to the link below and add your voice to this issue; I did. Thanks, Jay

Truth stands on its own merit.

Just signed it. I was having work done on my race car roll cage, tubbs, etc., and the belts were still in the box. By the time I got everything ready for test and tune, the date was almost expired. A 5 year time limit is much more realistic. Joe-JDC

Yeah, me too! Be prepared for more petitions from that site. I have already received 4 in just a few hours. Had to unsuscribe from them to stop the excess mailings. Joe-JDC

LOL! I got that too; just got one to say thanks for supporting wind energy. I did no such thing, of course; if I'm not burning fossil fuels, I'm not having fun...
