Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between a latch and link harness and a camlock harness?
A: A latch and link harness connects each belt end individually to a central buckle, with each point latching separately. A camlock connects all points to a central dial that releases everything simultaneously with one twist. Latch and link systems are generally more affordable and easier for crew to assist with from outside the vehicle.
Q: Is the 709009 legal for NHRA Jr Dragster?
A: The 709009 carries SFI 16.2 certification. Most NHRA Jr Dragster rules require SFI 16.2 or better. Always check your current rulebook for exact requirements.
Q: Can this harness be used in a full-size race car?
A: No. The 709009 is a junior-sized harness rated for Jr Dragster and Quarter Midget use. It is not for adult drivers in full-size race cars.
Q: What is the SFI expiration on this harness?
A: SFI 16.2 certifications are typically valid for two years from manufacture. Check the SFI tag affixed to the harness for the expiration date.
Q: What mounting hardware is included?
A: Drop-forged steel hardware ends for wrap-around or bolt-in mounting are included. Eyebolts for bolt-in floor mounting are sold separately.
Q: What is the warranty?
A: RaceQuip covers the 709009 under their standard limited manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
Q: How do I clean and inspect the harness?
A: Wipe with mild soap solution and air dry. Inspect all webbing for cuts, abrasion, or chemical contamination before each event. Replace if any damage is found.
