Doug - you are correct there are some sections, particularly in stock/super stock class racing, which will over-ride or trump E.T regs and general regs. However in this case, there is no stipulation in driver restraint, or roll bar requiring a harness with the use of a roll bar or cage in a car which is not required to have a roll bar.
And yes everyone is invited to call NHRA with any questions you may have.
The information I posted is correct according to all sections of the 2010 rule book, and all current revisions. Since I have recently been added to the Div #3 Safety Certifications team and am doing tech on cars at divisional races, not just local tracks, I feel I have a pretty good understanding of the rule book.

NHRA/SFI Certified Tech here as well.
Never cared for working Divisionals, Nationals were ok... would rather race.
Maybe I'll see you at Norwalk?

I have been a "silver" SFI tech for about 4 years (bronze for 4 before that). Since I am no longer announcing for ORP, I figured I would joined up with the divisional team to keep my certification and get out to a few more races.
Building a new car now, but won't be done this year. Maybe next year! 
Hope to be at Norwalk, but if not I'm sure we'll see ya at Columbus Mopar Nats!

Boy, some of these TECh Guys are out there..... I have ALWAYS had an expired 5 way harness on my front Pass seat in my Demon and now the Valiant. I have NEVER had a TECH Guy even look at that seat much less the belt. And I have been a lot of places.
Why would they care?? Nobody can even RIDE there if your car is quicker than 13.99
Welcome to Atlanta Dragway......
I never had an issue at any of the other tracks in the southeast. Like I said earlier, Just keep these type things in mind as you go through tech at different tracks.

I put a 5 point harness in when I put my 63 together even though it only ran 11.60's at first. I actually wanted a harness with the 6 point bar for myself. Ron
