FELNGR8, thanks for posting those pics
U da man! As far as getting everything in time....I can try to see if they'll overnight everything...gotta be sure of what I'm ordering first, though. Help?
Edit: saw this page - http://www.r-dracing.com/paypal.htm
I assume I need the following:
one of these - C4/C5 Lap Belt mounting kit. (one kit for 2 seats) $40.00
two of these (in order to attach the 5th point on BOTH seats, as well as mount the fire ext. to the pass. side?) - C4/C5 Extinguisher/Center Strap mount.(1-seat) $40.00
two sets of belts, latch looks way cheaper, guess I need to decide...
Plus hope that it is all in stock.
Need to get a Halon ext....ugh, this never ends!

Here is Dave's home page :
R-D Racing Home
Lap belt kit page :
Lap belts
You need the lap belt kit and two of the C4 fire extinguisher center straps. You use them to mount the 5th belt with or without fire extinguishers. Fire extinguisher kit
You need two sets of 5 point cam-lock G-Force belts in black. Hopefully he has them in stock. Definitely give him a call to be comfortable that you are getting all you need, and that he can ship it right away.

It looks like the Apex WG event is mid week on Wednesday and Thursday, the 3rd and 4th. So, if I understand it right there should be no conflict.

Why do guys get all pizzy about girls beating them? Why can't it just be about the drivers, regardless of male/female? I guess this is the eternal question to me! I look forward to another drag event when I can "win" some passes down the 1/4 mile...nothing beats that feeling
PS-Chuck-that *was* a
story
