I guess 5 points is all NHRA requires to 10.00. Does anyone have this setup with pictures?

I've got a mid-eleven second street car that I bracket race 6 times a year. I like the idea of making it easier for the wife and kids to get into the factory a-bodies bench seats with the 5 point.

Anyone use this setup?

Here is pics of my Valiant that I have posted a bunch of times. But here goes.......Keep in mind that a couple show a piece of angle iron that was temporary brace and looks like a Passenger door bar, but was removed.

If acess is the only concern you could always use swing out door bars.

I ran this set up. I had a swing out bar on the drivers side that rode on a stub in the floor. It took seconds to remove, very conveniant.

I guess there is no benefit of a 6th point if you don't have a passenger huh?

Same rules for verts? Door bar on pass side only OK?

Awesome write up.

Here's a pic of my '70 Swinger. It's an original 340 car but now has a mild, pump gas 408". The car has the original bench seats, auto on column, factory hood scoops. The car has gone 11.50 at 115.
