Use a little common sense here, its not anyone is under the impression these are cars straight off the showroom floor. Even SCCA allows a race seat in every class, even in SOLO low speed events.

Chad;
I wasn't aware that Woodrow had a problem with the factory seat during his mishap.What was the problem?
