If you build a stocker, you'll need to make those tows.
And I agree with the comment about talking to, and getting to know racers in person. As much as you'll learn online, you'll learn that much more by getting to know people. What I do I know about stockers, I learned mostly from being there, wherever "there" is. -could be in somebody's garage, at the track, or?

Unless it is a convertible like mine in which case you have no choice.

OK, I reckin I can't read. I just read thru it again. It says that all cars with frames must have the roll bars bolted or welded to the frame, and all unibodies must use plates welded or bolted to body, etc. Also tells and shows how to attach seat to roll bar.

So, are you saying that some cars can use a stock seat even without a head rest, and no roll bars, if they go slow enuff ? I'm sorry to ask such infintile questions. But if I knew the answers I wouldn't be asking.
