Hi all,
Trying to gauge interest in the SPB roof nets. We've had a couple customers ask for them recently so I'm wondering if this is a product we should carry more in inventory or just get one-off or a couple here and there. The main one we've sold is made by Teamtech, but we also work with another company that makes custom SFI netting (window nets and such) that can make it just as well and may be cheaper than the Teamtech ones. So we're wondering if we should have them make a run of them.
Do all of you SPB racers use roof nets? Does anyone need one soon?
Last race I went around and asked a bunch of people on this point and almost everyone had the net. The general consensus was that the net is relatively cheap and installs easily. It doesn't impact access to the interior with the roof off either (it's just over the driver). [I was actually the only one that had arm restraints.]
Personally, I don't mind the restrains and will continue to use them. SCCA doesn't require them, so I only need them with PCA.

This. I just don't get what the problem with arm restraints is.
I just looked at the rule book;
roof nets or arm restraints are for cars with an aftermarket roof. Those running w a factory hardtop don't need either.

Correct. I guess a lot of SPB cars have aftermarket roofs...
