New to the forum and wanted to get some opinions on safety upgrades for HPDE on my 2011 GT500. I moved up to the advanced group last spring, with about 4 years of HPDE, 2-3 times per year.
Done a bunch of research and reading on several forums and when it comes to safety upgrades, the more experience folks seem to have an ‘all or nothing’ approach in many cases. For my application, 99% street/DD, I want something that is flexible/removable, keeps me planted better in the seat and is safer than the 3-point harness alone.
I’m looking at the Schroth QuickFit Pro 4-point mounting to the factory receptacles and adding a crotch bracket under the seat to make it into a 5- or 6-point harness. Seriously considering a HANS or Schroth SHR flex head restraint.
This should put me at about $1000-$1500 and I can avoid doing a harness bar or roll cage and race seat.
Not trying to cut corners, but want to find a reasonable solution based on my application and something that will keep me safe. Appreciate any feedback.
THX, Barry
