couple of little or BIG items depending on the answer...

First we were re-reading all the rules to make sure Tech would be a
Breeze... and when it came to drivers suits and the section on Arm / LEG
restraints we had a question.... What Constitutes LEG restraints... it says
that these will be the Primary system above 175 mph ( III-4.2 pg 27 )  We
have Nascar netting on the lower portion of the Door forward of the Seat
and I can't see a way for our feet to get outside the Roll cage
structure....

What do you guys think.... have we met the requirement for Leg restraints?

I checked with Simpson and they don't offer anything on their web site...

I will say something that Might sound stupid but I learned that we had been
putting on our Neck roll wrong... we had the Velcro Tab in the front....
Simpson recommends it be in the back and the Label to be facing forward...
