Arm restraints ? What are they ?
as the name implies...
More for "7" style open top cars Id guess. They are simply restraints that limit arm movement in event of a crash.
Basically stop your arms going flying should the worst happen ( ie rollover scenario )
Ive seen them on drivers, but never looked closely. Not sure if they are some sort of seat belt stle inertia sop, or a fixed item. Probably the latter though attaching to normal seatbelt lap strap ?
Arm restraint info here:

Assuming you have windows it is unlikely they will be required.

Now this I would have loved to do but since I only get back on hte evening of the 1st and I have to fix my new rev counter, currently jammed at 1500 RPM, its not going to be dooable, unfotunately. It would have been a good chance to try out the latest mods! Oh well, as I so often say, maybe next time!

Can I come out to play with you guys? or is it a Vette only thing?....I hope not. Tom
Tom Hi
The eliminations on Sunday are a Corvette thing but you will be more than welcome on both days. It is an American car weekend and a RWYB so you should be able to run as many times as you like subject to how busy it is!
Steve - will look into the mysterious place that is the Sciencebird and Franv8 calendar and see if we can make it. Will try and persuade Sciencebird to have a drive too - much as I *cough* hate to admit it - she pulled better 0-60 times out of her Megane than I could get... and didn't rub it in at all either...
