I agree they should not look like that picture. The car needs seat covers and carpets, door panels.

Re: A case for aftermarket seats in stock
I find this thread interesting.
After reading the posts I kept thinking about the guys running the F.A.S.T. series. Now that is a real stock appearing class ! And of course, the seats in those cars are 35 plus years old and those guys are running 10's now ! As for the 13 second guys running against 9 second cars, the NMRA and NMCA Open Comp classes allow a mid 15 second car to compete against an 8 second car. The subject of safety has come up on the NMRA message board about the speed/acceleration rate difference between two racers. In most likelyhood, a serious accident (hopefully not) will be what it takes for NHRA to listen to the racers concerning seats. |
Re: A case for aftermarket seats in stock
Forget the aftermarket seats in Stock. If you are REALLY concerned about safety, petition for AIR BAGS! My Expedition not only has front air bags, but side air bags.
In reading these post, it seems apparent a few don't know you can eliminate the factory seat track. Seats can be bolted to the floor directly. Mine have CM tubing with tabs that you bolt the seats to and the CM tubing is then welded to the floor. I had that when I raced in Stock. Rulebook states you must have "factory type front and rear seats" and to me that opens the door for non specific model year seats. "Vette seats in a '68 Camaro should be defend-able with any tech issues. For SS, I found a really bitchin' pair of seats for $200 at a wrecking yard. They came off a Porsche and I think they are from a 911. Even have factory seat belt slots at the neck line. They weigh about 25 #'s each and I would not trade them for aluminum after market seats. |
