Title: 4 Point Harness
Post by: alfagtv58 on March 18, 2008, 10:30:50 AM
Folks, I need a favour.  I need to borrow a 4 point harness (still in date) this weekend for the passenger seat.  Normally I dont run one at all, but this weekend I will have an instructor in the car with me.

Happy to come and pick it up.  You can reach me on 0408 573 596.

Ta.

I've got a spare 3-point if you get stuck.

Car's all ready then?  When you heading up?   Enjoy the run down the mountain.  Gotta be the second best track in the world.

Car is ready, but really struggling to get a scrutineer to look at it to get it in the Targeted Scrutiny Programme (which it has to be for this event).  I have one more option up my sleeve, not sure what to do if that doesn't pan out........nothing like last minute!

Second best.....which is first in your opinion....I feel a debate coming on!

I heard a well known Aussie at P.I. Historics who has competed on most international circuits worldwide over the last 40 years, rated (for Historic Racing) 1) Phillip Island, 2) Laguna Seca 3) Nurburgring and 4) Bathurst. It is interesting that you raise this topic.

Oh to be able to race all over the world and be able to rate the circuits like that....

Phillip Island is an incredible track, for me it was like an epiphany when I'd been watching racing there from NZ for 20 years or so, to suddenly be racing around it (well sprinting, but still an amazing experience).

It's quite possible that Monaco and the Nurburgring are not as good circuits, but I'd still give perfectly usable parts of my body to be able to race around those tracks.

Let alone Assen, Brno, Macau, Stelvio pass, etc, etc.....

It's nice to have an opinion from someone that's raced all over the world, good to know that PI is that highly regarded, but I like to think that "PI is possibly the best circuit in the world, but until I've tried Bathurst (and Nurburgring, Laguna Seca, Assen....etc) then I'll never REALLY know."

Lucky I've got another 50 years to find out.  I'll let you know my findings....

Be nice to hear from anyone that's been around the Nurburgring.  I've only done it on Playstation.

Hey Phil, I only have a 6 point with the buckles on the crutch strap which means it can't work as a four point.
