heard good stuff from track junkies using it.

I think I'm going to order one :)

I have one, I love it

mine won't stay clipped to the buckle, and I'm too lazy to fix it so I just leave it on the belt and tighten it separately; it works anyway

the first few times you use it, it feels clumsy but after a while you get used to it and it becomes easy to use

I've tried one on a student's car at Tremblant. I found it very uncomfortable as the top of the metal part dug into my hip. But I suppose it will fit differently on different cars.

hmmmmm, that could be an issue in some cars I guess.

I have custom seat brackets that place the seat belt buckle VERY low, maybe that's why mine doesn't bother me. Or maybe you didn't tighten it enough for it to be positiond correctly? I know at first it took me some time to learn how to adjust it tightly enough.

thanks for the heads up, I'll check my buckle for comfort issues. If none, I'm ordering it. :)

I think for street cars on the track it's much more sensible than a harness (with all that it requires).

I really haven't found the need for one. I have an aftermarket seat with deep thigh and side bolsters. On top of that, I lock the seatbelt by tugging on it and then move the seat forward one notch. It's pretty much a non-issue.

Looking forward to seeing how much a full harness will make a difference when I get my roll-bar/cage in.
