I would think that if you have a quality seat, with the main hoop far back from the seat and seat either braced to bar or a quality braced seat, then have stock seatbelts for daily use and harnesses for track use.. its safe?

A lot of very heated opinions on this, ironic that "street" cars need a bar to run at a NHRA track. But I digress.
From what I can gather:

1.) Gotta keep the regular seat belts for DOT purposes
2.) Use a quality seat
3.) Don't dick around with mounting the harness
4.) Swing outs are legal, and I *think* you can have them double-pinned, so you can completely remove the door bars for street use.
5.) You may actually be in cage territory, not bar.

FWIW, I'd do it.
