I picked up one for myself, but my brother doesn't have one and is running the autocross event Sunday, I thought it might be worth asking here if somebody has one local that would be willing to sell one or let him borrow one.

Plan B, or actually Plan A for me, is to move the seat back a few inches, pull the lap belt out a couple of inches from the buckle, twist the belt 2 or 3 times, and then buckle. Then move the seat forward to be tight against the belt and firmly held in the seat by the lap belt.

Dadgummit Dick, you've given away another of the old timers' weight saving tips.

I was feeling cheap last year due to spending too many $$$$ on other stuff. However, the twist the belt technique ended up requiring so much use of the power seat adjuster to get the belt tight that I'll probably get a CG Lock for next season.
