Do Stockers need correct year seats?

We gained 10lbs going from a bench to buckets. Reaching a floor mounted shifter with the factory bench is a safety hazard as you need 7' long arms to reach it. I understand rules are rules. This car was going to be raced at one, maybe 2 races this year. I don't have time to race it so we were going to let a friend run it at Piedmont. Seems there are some little cry babies. I'd hate to know I was afraid of a car or driver to the extent that I'd protest their heavier than factory seats. Don't forget the car weighs over 3950lbs with minimum weight at 3845. I was usually the slowest car in stock. Not exactly trying to set the world on fire here.

Luckily racers are like hair stylist, they love to gossip. Already had 3 people call me to tell me about the complainers. I'll look forward to seeing their rods/pistons laying on the ground at a future race.
