A case for aftermarket seats in stock

treessavoy · 08-04-2010, 09:52 PM

The progression of safety issues in Stock and SS have, as Alan said, have come via blood, major incident or by stubborn individuals like Bob Mazzolini who put a dual master cylinder in his Max Wedge car and dared them to say anything.

How stock is stock? Will the NHRA let me do away with the required bench seat in my '64 Plymouth for non-stock bucket seats. Will the NHRA make a deal with a seat maker and therefore control the price of the seats. I know some of you will ask me how much I'm willing to spend to possibly save my life but I can't spend $2,500.00 for a pair of seats at this point.

Does the spectator (those few that watch) care about what seats are in Stockers? What performance advantage do safer seats give me?

Lastly, is this really a problem that needs to be addressed or (as usual) are we beating a dead horse here?
