I figure there's a reason why they specifiy replacing them every 2* years, and a reason why they're dated from the manufacturers.
*NOTE: I questioned this after I wrote it, so I did a little web-research...turns out SFI requires recertification of your belts every 2 years, according their 16.1 spec.

This is just the manufacturers in cahoots with the sanctioning bodies... The belts can withstand more than 24 months of use. It's not like they are sitting the middle of the Mohave for 24 months, they are typically in a garage for 90% of the time.
Think of the revenue. EVERY racer in EVERY body replacing his belts every two years. Damn. Anyway, it should be the driver's choice.
