Racing seats in stock?

[Dave Casey]

No, No, No, that is my vote. Just another way to lighten a car up, and if your stuff is built right , you will be safe. Check your belts, make sure the back of your seat is supported by the cage, etc. It is your responsibility to check this stuff and protect yourself.

And if this were to go thru, and Billy applied all these wt saving enhancements, hell he would have that nova 4 dr in A/SA with the 307

Sorry Billy, I couldn't help myself

[Harry 6674]

Just move the car to a lower class until you feel safe. We've had enough enhancements.

just for everyone's info a 1966 283 chevy wagon without a roll bar would be perfectly fine and legal with a 1966 installed lap belt.

danny byrd's chevy II was bounced at indy two years ago because he did not have a folding seat (2 door style) but had a lighter solid seat (4 door wagon style)...

just another attempt to move weight from front to back by the fast guys...

and by the way i race stock eliminator, pay my dues, why should i not be allowed an opinion on this or any other rules issues... damn fast guys want all rules amended to thier liking and screw us we dont even get an opinion anymore... billy nees is right 90% of rule changes have not helped us...only the fast guys.

Jack & Billy,
I don't have a problem with the seat rule as they are. I was just giving Micky a hard time. We have a faster car but we add wt. to the front of car to controll wheel stands. I am one of you guy's I have another car that you will have to spot if I ever get it to run the index

[SuperStockDodge]

I definitely do not care for aftermarket racing seats in Super Stock, in Stock Eliminator it would be even more of a joke. They do not belong-PERIOD!

[Mickey Whaley]

not saying slow cars could not reply i was told only cars that go 10.90 or faster this would be an option for I guess because of super street index?

[Mickey Whaley]

Racing seats allowed for 2010 found the link it's at WWW.behinddznutzLmoa.com should be real useful.

[THE LEGEND]

MW,
I agree with ya on all safety issues including seats. I think the slow guys should pay attention also. Especially with all the brake jobs at the stripe..

Racing seats..hmm..okay...25 pounds ballast under the seat,if found removed..out for a year...lets see how many still will think about the safety issue in the real world!

Has there been any recent problems concerning safety?? I dont think it's forbidden to beef up and/or make improvements to original seats and attachment for your own safety..
and about sfi pants...When was it last a "stocker guy" got severe burns going down the track?

So you are saying only the fast cars can have the seats?
