How far above your helmeted head is the bar?

3"s with the seat pad, 4"s without the pad.

Not sure how far you are from VIR, but there's a race there on the 28-30th. There might be some boxsters there you can check out.

I don't see a horizontal bar for the shoulder straps?

I would want more angle on the support bars, tied into the rear shock mounts.

The shoulder bars were installed today. Unfortunately I'm keeping the convertible top so I couldn't tie into the rear towers.

I'll actually be at VIR this weekend, is there a spec race next weekend?

Pirelli World Challenge. That's mostly high end stuff but there might be a boxster or two in the lower classes

I don't think there's any PCA spec racing going on there this year but WRL will be there later in the year. I like WRL better because there's less rules and bigger motors. You also get to see boxsters beat up on other makes of vehicles

There is normally two or three whenever I go. Mixed between TT cars and spec cars test and tuning.
