I think they should be in COMP, they are not Stock for sure !! With COMP losing interest they would help !!!

This is comical. NHRA let's factory race cars compete in stock, some running parachutes, yet real stockers are being B**ched at over passenger seats modifications like a missing head rest?! This is almost as comical as Barton's class wins counting towards his national point total and putting him in the Top 10.

I like this revision and I think it's aimed at some of the newer style SS cars. The passenger seat looks like crap when they cut the top section off.

Does this mean i can use a Kirky race seat and leave the oem passenger seat in place? Ya i know iam a little slow.

Yes that is correct

[Dan Fahey]

That means the Passenger Side Bucket has to be a real seat D

The old rule read...Driver and passenger-side seats must be identical in appearance.

The new rule reads as follows:

If a full-sized corporate OEM driver’s seat is used, the passenger seat must be identical in appearance to the driver’s seat. If a full-sized aftermarket driver’s seat is used the passenger seat must be full-sized and identical in appearance to the driver’s seat being used or must be a full-sized corporate OEM passenger-seat.

That means an aftermarket passenger seat cannot be drilled full of lightening holes or have the upper portion/head rest cut off. Its time for a few racers to buy a new passenger seat because they butchered the seat.

If this is the case why doesn't it state that no holes ! I asked about this earlier this year and was told that they wanted the same seats i.e. two factory or two aftermarket not one of each

No Problem, but what if your head is naturally bald? Do I have to ad weight to compensate?
