With my car I install the roll bar, seats and harness for the Driver's Education Events I go too. I do the events in the first part of the Summer (May to July) maybe 2 to 3 events total then pull the bar, seats and harness out for the rest of the year.
This gives me the winter months to slowly get the car ready for the early season track events.
I also recommend to check every nut, bolt and hose clamp before each event. I found several engine mount nuts missing and the rest hanging on by a thread before an event.................sure glad I found that out.  and I have also found loose gas hose clamps, raditor hose clamps that were tight the event before.
