these things work like CG-lock but for cheaper and can be found at toys-r-us/baby-r-us or most places that carry child seats. does exactly the same thing and only clinches the lap portion. I know a couple friends that use these to on the track and noticed a difference. They said it works and helped them stay in their seat and felt more confident since they don't have to brace themselves while on the track

edit: aka the Wombatsauce method
moving your seat back...locking your stock belt (by pulling really fast while breaking...then moving your seat forward...

If I'm understanding your instructions correctly, step 5 involves twisting of the belts as well as the buckle? Ideally, we want the belts to lay flat against our torso and lap to distribute the load in the event of a crash. If any portion is twisted, the impact force is greatly increased at that point and can cause unnecessary injury. That's the reason competition belts are even wider than OEM seat belts - to distribute the force over a greater area of the body.
i tried this yesterday. and DMAN! how come I didn't think of this WAAAAAAY back!? this way both lap and shoulder belts are night and tight.
Another way is to put your seat farther back than usual (doesn't work for me all the time as mine has to be all the way back, but when on the track sometimes it's nice to be 1 click closer) and connect the seatbelt. Then, snug up the lap belt as mcowger mentions, then quickly yank or snap the shoulder belt so the ratchet catch locks it tight, while holding it scoot your seat 1 click forward. Sounds janky, but this will hold you locked in place till you release tension. Never tried the twisty method - it may work better for all I know.
