Topic: Harnesses and headlights

Two questions I still have after reading rules, how not to fail, and the “read this before asking questions” post.

1.  Rules state 5-6 point harness.  Question is are 7 point harness legal?

2.  Can OEM headlights remain or do they have to be removed?

Thanks all!

1. Yes.  Rules likely don't state it because 7 pt are uncommon.
2. Can remain.  If glass, put clear helicopter type tape over any glass lenses like that.  Use the good stuff that will keep the glass together and not thin packing tape.

Re: Harnesses and headlights

(1) I don't recall seeing an official ruling on 7-point harnesses. Unless someone else has, that's one for John Pagel.

(2) Headlights are allowed.

That's certainly a good idea although I believe it's been dropped as an absolute requirement.
