How stock is stock? Will the NHRA let me do away with the required bench seat in my '64 Plymouth for non-stock bucket seats. Will the NHRA make a deal with a seat maker and therefore control the price of the seats. I know some of you will ask me how much I'm willing to spend to possibly save my life but I can't spend $2,500.00 for a pair of seats at this point.
Does the spectator (those few that watch) care about what seats are in Stockers? What performance advantage do safer seats give
Lastly, is this really a problem that needs to be addressed or (as usual) are we beating a dead horse here?

Jim, look at my initial post. The seats I bought for my son's car looked a lot like stock seats cost around $220 each and were much better made than the old stock seats. For me to find a pair of 1970 Camaro seats, buy new foam, new springs, new covers and pay someone to upholster them would be around $1500. I would not favor allowing racing seats like the Kirkeys because they look nothing like stock seats. The procar seats I bought have tubular steel frames with steel springs and two locks on the sliders. The seat backs lock much more securely than any of the old stock seats.
