A case for aftermarket seats in stock

I find this thread interesting.
After reading the posts I kept thinking about the guys running the F.A.S.T. series.
Now that is a real stock appearing class !
And of course, the seats in those cars are 35 plus years old and those guys are running 10's now !

As for the 13 second guys running against 9 second cars, the NMRA and NMCA Open Comp classes allow a mid 15 second car to compete against an 8 second car. The subject of safety has come up on the NMRA message board about the speed/acceleration rate difference between two racers.

In most likelyhood, a serious accident (hopefully not) will be what it takes for NHRA to listen to the racers concerning seats.
