Next we have a center net installed completely incorrectly. The center net is required by certain race organizations.
Some require it when you are running a seat that is not a halo
or containment seat; other series require it no matter what, while other series don’t require it at
all. But, the rule is, if you install safety equipment whether it
is required or not, it must be installed properly. The idea of
a center net is to wrap around
the passenger side of the driver seat tightly to keep the driver contained in the seat. This net
is currently not wrapping the
seat at all; in fact, I could sit on the passenger side of the center tunnel, in between the seat and the net. That’s not good. The front mounting point was not only too far to the passenger side, it was using a quick release buckle from a seat harness, but instead of a proper eyelet or solid bracket, a bolt was put through it and pinned in place. That’s also not good. Add to that the straps must be double looped, when attached at the roll cage for safety.
