I mounted my seat to the cage, my logic being that if I get nailed in the driver's side I would rather move with the cage as opposed to the cage moving into me. Since I race a front driver, I was able to weld a crosstube into the front downleg/mainhoop lower tie tubes and mounted the seat to the crosstube and the lap and subbelts to the cage. Which to my peabrain, made a lot more sense than mounting the belts and/or seat to the floorpan. I personally feel that the cage/harness/seat should be one assembly instead of two. Geoff Bodine's crash in the truck race at Daytona a few years back graphically illustrates the logic that I refer to. I know that we don't approach those velocities, but I would rather be safe than sorry. I am a little surprised that the GCR doesn't spell out seat and belt mounting points more clearly.

…I feel ill at how far we have drifted from engineering and automotive integrity. It's not just nostalgia. It's more like sorrow. For a shining moment in human history all our science and engineering blossomed to create the great inventions and designs. Now we engage in techno-masturbation like Twitter and TPMS…
