Thank you for the reply.I only heard that the car went into the drink upside down.Car and Woody must have taken a good hit.I guess if you feel safer with the aftermarket seat if enough pressure is exerted maybe they'll allow them.If so I hope they check the mounts.I've seen a few cars that were scary
(usually the whole car was a death trap).

Remember the mass of the seat {and it's occupant} will try to continue in motion. ....By reducing the mass of the seat of the seat ,you will reduce its energy........Also, most OEM seats only have an "E" clip, or push nut holding the seat back to the base,and are easily twisted apart. ....Tom

I cant believe its not mandatory in the cars running in the 9's, hell they are running faster than SG and the dont have to have a neckbrace or wear gloves? Leave it up to the driver if they want a racing seat or not what's the deal will it make the driver better? I would feel safer in a seat where the belts are mounted properly, are attached to the floor in a non failure position.

Monitoring of vehicle performance criteria, wheel speed, driveshaft speed, vehicle acceleration, etc. by fuel-injection system prohibited. All aftermarket OEM-type electronic fuel injection must be NHRA-accepted. A current list of NHRA-accepted electronic-fuel-injection systems is available on NHRA.com."

I seem to get annoyed when I get on their site, too much useless info on a cluttered homepage...I have to find what I want there quickly or else it makes me angry and I itch like an allergy or something...can someone send me the link please. Thanks. Have a great day, much love!

How do the 4 wheel ABS sensors get the okay????
Wheel counters, in the purest form.

It's just as bad to get hit by something going fast, as it is to crash in something going fast.
