Eddie and I have both found a need for them.

I have been riding with Tim in AutoX to show him the course and I would reach all the way across the tunnel and hold on to the other side next to his seat. I was think that a small grab bar on the p/s of the tunnel would work really well.

There's a guy in town with a FFR with his E-brake on the side of ps trans tunnel, he fabricated a E-brake rotating hold down or stop because passengers (women) would grab it,seems it might be a bit to far forward not sure how this would work in a emergency situation but to each his own ,Pat.

Thanks Joe, I sure can use them. I have never been beat up so bad riding as a pass. in my life. Look forward to the next AutoX.

not a bad idea Joe!

I always have my passengers cross their arms on their chest, grab the shoulder belts up by their shoulders, and pull down hard...i.e....right hand grabs left shoulder belt, and vice versa. It works pretty well AND keeps their arms away from important things like steering wheels and shifters.

Do you have the crotch belt installed in your car?

If not, that makes a huge difference in how secure the belts hold you in...it's night & day.

That may help but in AutoX the upper body with a helmet on really could use arm stabilization.

Joe and Tim try what Wade said, I also have found that this works pretty well although it's much better with high back seats that the classics. There's really not much to support your upper body in those no matter what you do.

good point Mike...I do have Kirkeys. It might not do much w/ the low backs.
