Question about seats in a Stocker

[herbjr]

Mark do you know Galen Glovier, well he is the guy who has decoded all these mopar cars and can tell you exactly how many of each car was made with what. I also have a full set of Mopar Parts books from the early 60's to the mid 70's.

I also have a picture of a wagon with a full center console and buckets. So if we want to get technical then that is fine I really dont care. BUT, why dont we quit the bullshhhhht and start racing.

BTW, There are a few racers who need to wear IHRA uniforms as much time as they spend in the tech trailer bitching about other racers stuff.

Yep, I've heard of him (it's Govier) , and I'm sure he saw atleast 2 or 3 cars like that. The point is though, most tech people and racers have never seen any. So now you'll have to document those rare cars to make your case .
Why don't you just run the lighter bench seat?
Oh, and BTW, it's not BS to try to save what's left of Stock Eliminator.
Good luck

There is almost nothing left of stock. My dad has a Chrysler with 4 buckets, and front and rear consoles. Its a Chrysler 300. The Bench is lighter just a low back thats all.

Herb,

You can put an A-body bench w or w/o head rest and save some weight, A-bodies from the mid 70's offer benches with integral headrests. You will need to make some kind of seat brackets as they sit lower than B-bodies.

I dont care about weight. The car has alot of weight in it to get to 3745. It will have a 383 in KSA and SSLA by next year.

That will be a super nice ride with a 383 in it.

Hi Herb,

No Indy for us this year (unless my lotto ticket wins) too many money issues.

We always liked going to Indy because that's the place for show & tell.

We are a bunch of old school guys who like class racing, but it's getting more difficult, with the quotas and the economy, to have multiple cars in your class. There are way too many class wins that are singles and that's not the fault of the racer, it's just the system that we race under.

In 2004 when we went to Indy, Topeka & Earlville, we towed a total of 6,400 miles and spent 3 weeks on the road. Now you see why we have to win the Lotto.

Maybe next year?
