You should NOT have fixed back race seats in your car without a roll bar. if you do end up on your lid they are not designed to "break" in the "right" way and you will have your skull mated to the roof of your car.
the propper progression should be... and it can be done...
Roll bar
Seats
Harnesses
a roll bar alone gives minimal risk with "stock" seats and belts... it helps in roll overs. Add seats, you have a roll bar in already... your head will not mate up with the roof in a roll over. Add belts to keep you FIRMLY in the seat.
and all the VA residence should know, if you are driving a car to the track... keep your stock three pointers on while on the street... the police in this state dont like people using harnesses on the road. they have to collect revenue some how!
