RaceQuip's tag line is The Best Value in Driver Protection. Their new Camlock belt set is meeting that challenge by offering loads of features yet pricing them affordably for the grassroots racer. The 751 series Camlock belt set comes in a six (6) point configuration with a pull-down lap belt design. The harness sets not only exceed the SFI 16.1 specification, they also pass the stringent FIA 8853/98 standard. This dual certification allows racers in some sanctions (SCCA, NASA, etc.) to use these belts for five years instead of just two.

RaceQuip starts with a super-lightweight 165 gram magnesium alloy cam buckle. The buckle features an engagement cone which allows the belts to snap into the cam mechanism at angles of 21 inch left or right and 11 inch up and down for ease of engagement. Precise internal spring pressure allows a positive feel on the 45 inch (right or left) unlatch movement without fear of accidental opening.

Next, the drop-forged steel buckle hardware is sewn onto the premium 3 inch webbing. RaceQuip calls their proprietary blend webbing transverse mono filament woven, which means that there are mono filament fibers inter-woven into the straps in a pattern that transverses the standard weave. This design accomplishes two tasks - added strength and smoother edges on the belts. The harness sets also feature premium, lightweight, non-slip aluminum shoulder adjusters with easy lift grips. The lap belt adjusters utilize an anti-slip tensioner device as well. Heavy-duty drop-forged steel slide bars and bolt on ends come already installed, but they can be easily removed if you prefer to mount your belts by wrapping them around a rollbar. Belt adjustment lengths are 10 inch  to 75 inch  for shoulders and 20 inch  to 60 inch  for the lap belt. RaceQuip Camlock Harness Sets sell for $199.99 racer net, and are available in black, red, or blue.

Do you remember when you were younger and nothing worried you . . . you felt there was nothing you could not do. We pride ourselves with the I can do anything concept, and reality is, that we can not do everything.

As I suddenly became a middle aged guy and not the young guy who felt everything was easy, but really did not know anything. I took on challenges that as a middle aged guy who now rethinks the difficulties  in new projects. Sometimes they intimidate me, which makes me second guess the decision  to take on these projects.

My confidence has grown with knowledge from years past. Over the years I have accomplished things I did not realize I could do. While working for a construction company as a mechanic I took on a project building a tack truck for the paving crew. They brought me a wrecked tack truck and a newer truck - I was tasked to use both and make one new truck. While I was excited about this project I was completely scared . . . everything had to be fabricated, lines made everything!  Somewhere inside from my one year in basic drafting and many years in the racing world I drew up diagrams on paper in scale form. Using those drawings, to my amazement without letting others know, the pieces fit exactly. So I finished the project and everyone in the company thought the workmanship and quality was great.

So when the young guys come rolling in with their I can do anything attitude remember they still do not know it all.  I believe in youth and enthusiasm, I respect old age and treachery.
