Bring an economy sized bucket of humility. Every time I ride with a pro I learn how far I am from being a good driver.

4 point? I thought it was 5/6 point (with appropriate roll cage) or stock belts. 4 points are dangerous, right?

Agree, stay the hell away from 4 points. Your OEM 3 point and air bag is safer imo. A girl wearing a 4 point died last year at a track I frequent from "submarining" under her 4 point. Not even sure why they exist.
