A lap belt is absolutely enough to drive your Stock or Street Prepared TR6
in an SCCA Solo2 autocross. Be aware that you can not use any aftermarket
shoulder belt unless you have a roll bar. In other words, if you do not
have a roll bar, you are limited to either the stock three-point or a lap
belt from any source. No aftermarket harnesses. No Turner Belts.
Since my TR4 never had a three-point from the factory, I use a simple 2" lap
belt.
This rule is for "open" cars. If you have a "closed" car like a GT6, you
can run any seat-belt harness combination you like, as long as it includes a
lap belt.
