Those dudes had Cleetus on one of their recent podcasts. Rich Guido is from just south of here in Red Deer, and if you want to talk hardcore, he doesn't trailer his GTO to all the Drag and Drive events...
Yeah I saw the video the other day of that SoB driving it in the snow. FNA hardcore
Bill's Fairlane is a beauty too. Cool seeing those two do a podcast together!
You liked it so much, you posted it twice?

How A NASCAR Driver Set 28 Speed Records With A Banned Car And Lots Of Beer - Jalopnik
In 1971, NASCAR banned Chrysler's winged cars, forcing teams like Bobby Isaac's K&K to park their fastest rides. K&K owner Nord Krauskopf decided to take the team's Charger Daytona to Bonneville for one last romp. They'd end up setting 28 world records.

I have some concerns over the belts I have:
I bought Racequip belts at the start of the season. The stitching and webbing seems ok, but the lap belts slip.
the tie in at the cage and floor are both doubled back around the 2 slot paddles
Now in and of itself, slip is ok for one reason: none of the edges are sharp enough to "grab" the belt, which may cut them (or not, it's a thought)
The knurling is not very pronounced, and it doesn't get a proper purchase on the belt
They would need to supply additional 2 slot belt paddles though. So when you run the belt around the knurled end of the latches, then you can capture the belt and lock in in place
I typically save the old belts. I rob them of hardware all the time, and even use them for pulling engines
I will likely buy another set of one of these belts though that I have used previously:
RJS
Simpson
Crow
RCI
Stroud

I’d love to be able to provide something productive over your belt quandary. But seeing as I can’t properly belt myself in a 4pt harness without looking like a giant baby in a baby seat, I’m probably not much help.
New belts are probably a wise choice.
New belts are probably a wise choice.
It's not much of a quandary really. I'll bolt in a new set from RJS and never think of it again.
Just didn't want someone to get into the same position or even test them to failure
I’ve ran rjs, rci, and Simpson with no issues, wreck tested everyone of them. Lol
