Re: Stock seat clarification please
Is having to run factory seats really such a safety concern for some people? I always thought that the 5 point safety harness was what kept the driver in position, not the seat. Silly me.

Re: Stock seat clarification please
Secondary impacts (i.e. rollovers) are a valid concern if the stock seat has become broken beneath you. I'd be glad to carry more weight if I could mount a good racing seat.

Re: Stock seat clarification please
I have the feeling that a lot of people here won't be satisfied until they turn Stock Eliminator into an 8-10 second No Box bracket.

Re: Stock seat clarification please
I dont think slamming Rory was nice when he asked a simple question that you did not even answer his question. I doudt if you know Rory being about 3000 miles between Florida and BC Canada. So here is the answer. If in a crash your car backs into a wall the seat belts do not hold you the seat does if the seat breaks and folds up you will end up in the back of your flopping around inside your car. Some body on this forum had this happen to them cant remember who, was it Mr Beard? The person that this happen to them please chime in, it should help clear up why people want after market seats.

Re: Stock seat clarification please
I agree with you on square lobe cams, roller rockers, etc. but anything that enhances safety just makes sense.
