Video: How To Install an Inside Net

There seems to be a lack of information regarding proper installation of an Inside Net, sometimes called a "Driver's Net". You can either dig through 936 pages of the SCCA GCR Rulebook, OR, you can watch this video.


9.3.30. INSIDE NET

"An inside net running between the main roll hoop and the dash is recommended for all production-based cars and two-seater Sports Racing cars (see figure 6). It is recommended that the lower strand of the net pass the shoulder and run horizontally from the cage to the dash. The upper strand should pass the Cg of the helmet in the side view. The net should run parallel to the center of the car in plain view and be as close to the seat as possible. It is recommended that the net be tensioned tightly and have a way to quickly disconnect it in case the driver needs to exit through the car in an emergency. Metal collars, or some other equivalent method, should be used to keep the strands of the net from moving along the roll cage. If possible, the recommended mounting method is to wrap the net strands around the back of the seat and attach them to the main hoop upright. However, teams should consult the net manufacturer to verify their recommended method of mounting."
