Christopher you are right on the money. The harnesses in that pic above show exactly what I was referring to. Very dangerous.

Furthermore, factory hardtops don't provide any additional rollover protection beyond the factory rollbars. A hardtop is not an acceptable substitute for a roll-bar extention at track events.
