Status Goes Off-Road

When Status started our main market was the tuner and aftermarket crowd. Although we sell seats to whoever wants them, we have really focused on the tuner market. Until we had a hard core Jeeper come looking for some safety harnesses. We got him setup with our FIA Approved 6 point Status Racing Harness. When you’re rippin across terrain like these guys do, safety is your number one concern! After talking to this customer, we found out that the jeeping industry is also moving away from the suspension seats and into the fixed back bucket seats. That got us thinking… Could STATUS go off-road???

We aren’t making any sudden move, but the idea is out there. These guys, just like the tuner community, throw down major dough to compete in highest level of racing. The customer that will be rockin’ our harnesses is headed to Jeepspeed’s Mint 400 in Nevada. This is no little off-road event. This is the cream-of-the-crop, of off-road event. It’s a grueling 400 mile race through extreme terrain. You’re competing against over 250 other participants, in 20 different classes. Less than half of the people who enter, actually finish the race.

We know most of you tuned out when we said off-road, so we thought, better than explain the Mint 400 to you, we would show you…
