[TPR] Fwd: Installing Harness Bar & 5-point harness

[John Bentley]

 I had a bunch of crap ready to say about our longtime nemesis (Corvettes) but since I have a C8 on order, I had to scrub the mission!  Glad to hear nobody got seriously injured.  If you drive fast, there will be those times where you think you're going to buy the farm.  Thankfully, its rare!

 'TREE' was subjective!!Meant only to imply sheeet can happen at any moment 
I've watched from a few feet away as a friend went thru curve...he was at his traction Limit... .all good til tires crossed the painted line!!!  (Paint had less traction than bare asphalt)His wobble looked small, but at 160 he almost 'Bought the Farm'!!!
My 'in car video' caught it as well as my eyes.

A woman in a corvette flipped 4 times.  She was taken to the hospital for minor injuries.  I did not hear anything about a tree being involved.

Mark, it is an excellent idea for any car at speed. And I will recommend to anyone planning to go fast. 
But having said that there is no way am I putting a cage in the C8. Will be happy to run at slower speeds. Also have looked at photographs of many C6, 7 and 8 roll overs and the added reinforcement on A & B pillars did not collapse. Perfect example was the driver of the C6. She cart wheeled and rolled yet neither A or B pillars collapsed. I also got several other examples from Ken Rees who averaged 155 last Sunday in a C7. Ken had a conversation with a factory engineer who would only say the C8  and Z06 both have improved strength on A and B pillars which the C6 and C7 do not have.....or what GM calls 'enhanced' additional strength but no one at GM is going to say they are as good as a roll cage because they are NOT.

 I know at least 3 of you have C8 and or Z06’s on order for your back-up ‘OTHER’ car and wanted to say Asa did my 5-point on C8 today. 
It was an all day job as seats and trim etc had to be removed, plastic and some upolstry around rear speaker  had to be cut and glued back into place. The lap belt is still used and harness sits behind seat when not racing. 
But it all looks great. Very happy with the work Asa did and his hourly rate is very fair. 

Thanks Asa!
