<VV> NECC Corvair Olympics Question

[Rick Norris]

Be aware that the anchor point for a shoulder harness is reccommended to be 
no more than from 1 to 4" below your shoulder. Also the SCCA and others will 
not accept a "Y" style shoulder harness. Should be okay for NECC with a 
stock Corvair. Zat right Brian??
