FYI: Direct from the EMRA website.

for Racers Only -- SFI certified belts manufactured in 2002 will NO longer be acceptable as EMRA Race / Enduro safety equipment. EMRA holds valid SFI certifications until December 31st of the fifth year after the date of manufacture as indicated on the belts label. (Refer to Driver Safety, Section 1.3 of EMRA's GCR for complete details). FIA Certified belts are valid until December 31st of the year of the expiration date as marked on the manufacturer's label.

for Time Trialers Only -- three-point harness with metal to metal mounting required as a minimum. OEM seatbelts or equivalent are acceptable, but must be in good working condition. A PROPERLY INSTALLED four, five, six, or seven-point racing harness is acceptable, but not required. Must have DOT, SFI or FIA tag. Only separate shoulder mounts are permitted. The "Y" type shoulder straps are not allowed. "H" type configuration is permitted. Aftermarket harnesses are acceptable ONLY if properly installed. If there is any doubt, please bring your OEM three-point belts and hardware to the event. Belts must be in good working condition, not frayed, stretched or weathered. The certification date requirements as per Section 1.3.8 of EMRA's GCR are not applicable. The harness MUST be installed in accordance with EMRA race and manufacturer's requirements. There will be NO exceptions to this rule.

FYI 2: As I remember, we did one joint event with EMRA at Bridgehampton, it was the COM driver that got his Volkswagen stuck up in a tree.

1. What is EMRA?

2. Conclusions from the code?

Thanks!
