Cool Clarity on saftey, legality & technicals of 4/5pt harnesses

Hello,

I'm thinking about upgrading my drivers seat to a bucket w/option for harness in the future. Im doing drag, occasional autox and eventually some track (spring time).

I've searched and read many threads, but I can't determine the following:

1) W/out getting a rollcage, will I have proper mounting locations for a harness? I've seen some people bolting the harness to the seat - which doesn't help in an accident. When just swaping in a bucket from the stock drivers seat, what else needs to be done to safely have a harness?
I also see them looping through the rear brace. Is the loop safe or do you have to get something like the amuse rear bar w/the mounting points?

2) When getting into track racing, can someone summarize the rules for aftermarket seats/restraints?

3) Is it legal to do these swaps if the car will still remain on the street - aka is not a dedicated track car?

I'm aware of the airbag fixes if I decide to get a passenger side bucket as well - .
Thanks in advance!
