Sounds like a great time, Debbie. One thing I noticed in this picture:

was that the driver's seat in his car doesn't look like it has much of anything in the way of shoulder support. It looks like one of those aluminum Kirkey oval-track seats that only has support that wraps around your ribs?

If it is, he might want to consider replacing it with something safer since he's driving this thing on-track - those rib support seats don't do much except break ribs in side impacts. Something like this,

or this would be far safer...

Here's a couple of good links discussing driver safety, seat & harness mountings:
