ORR Setup Questions I posted this once & the board crashed on me... 
Anyway, I have run into some basic questions that don't seem to be covered here in the AutoX forum or on the ORR.com board. So, Bill, Boyce or whoever has a thought please chime in.
Regarding 5 pt harnesses, are the expensive units (like Simpson) really worth double the expense of the reasonable units (like G-Force)?
Should I invest in a 5-10lb Halon Fire Supression System, or is the trusty fire ext mounted on the roll cage good enough? I mean, I like the idea of the Halon not dsetroying the motor or electronics if I need to use it, but I can find many ways to spend $500.
Is the Nady intercom the way to go? Is it easy to mount in the helmets? And can I take it back out & use my helmet for drag racing?
I seemed to have forgotten my other 2 items. I'll post them later.

Well, I remembered 1 more question.
Does the car stay relatively cool during the race with just air coming thru the vents? Or will I need to tun the A/C? My glasses tend fog up inside my helmet at the track, and my contacts don't correct my astigmatism so I can't read the dashboard with them. I've never worn a fire suit, so I assume I'll be sweating, meaning my glasses will fog up.
Where do you buy the Nady? A motorcycle shop?

I'll agree with everything that Bill said in his first post. The fire system can wait. Yeah, its great being able to have a big bottle but that **** AINT cheap. And right now the money is better spent else where. A 2.5 or 5 pound extinguisher will be fine for your first run.
as far as harness's. They way I see it is that anything that is more expensive than the cheapest one out there is to expensive. They all have to meet the same safety standards. I went with Crow. Reasonably priced against everyone else and the cam lock they use if great.

Cool, I can handle $75 for a fire extinguisher. And one of the sponsors here (Billingsly?) sells the RCIs. Maybe I'll go that route. Gee, I've already "saved" enough $ for a cage....
