My car has race belts in it from when I ran 10.90 but they are out of date, but will these be ok to go out with my small motor and run some low 12 sec passes?

only need updated belts if you run 11.49. the belts i have in my dads car are about 5 years outdated. thats one of the smartest things NHRA has done IMO.

They only need to be with in the date IF your car is REQUIRED to have them per the rules.
If it's nor going fast enough per the rules to require them then the date doesn't apply.

I never did like that 2 yr rule. It's stupid.
I ran 11.90's then 11.70's later w/belts that were 7 yrs old.
The tech guy couldn't believe they were that old, because they looked almost new.
Common sense comes to play here. If they're ragged, replace them. I could only wish that the tracks would leave it up to the tech inspector to determine whether the belts were safe or not. I have better things to spend money on than belts that don't need replacing.
Yeah, it's got a smallblock.

I know with me that when I had stock belts in it they never said anything but with the race harness they wanted the right dated ones no matter what et I ran. Once you go with the race belts I believe they can make you run the dated ones if they want to hassle you. Ron

I have heard that if you cut the SFI tag off its OK for slower than 11.50... dont know for FACT... I need 2 sets of new belts and I want to see if I can get a set re-webbed in black with no SFI sticker for the pass side of my Rampage(they have the max re-web on the hardware already... 5 times)

if you have a roll bar or cage, you need dated belts.

I don't think you need to worry about the pass. seat. Been through Stock Elimn. tech many times and they've never checked to even see if the pass. seat had a belt.

Wrong.
If you are REQUIRED by the rules to have a roll bar or cage the you need the belts.
