I agree Mark, But while they are in Stock and I'm being caught at 150 mph, I'm seriously thinking of putting a 6 point in the Escort. Mainly because I'm not keen on the idea of picking a Bowtie or Blue Oval out of my ***. Ask Marty Buth about his experience, with a Cobra Jet crossing lanes.

Agreed. I had an eye-opener running the Turismo at a bracket race a few years ago when a car going 140+ crossed into my lane past the finish line and tagged the wall. If he would've lost it at half track, he would've gone THROUGH me. I brought this up at a Div. 3 race a few years ago, and got blank stares.

Rules allow you to put a roll bar in any stocker if you want to.

When I first saw these cut down aftermarket seats in a "Stocker" (photo from indy 2017) I thought the owner was trying to emulate the look of the o.e.m. low back originals. No big deal.

I'll side with some others here. With all of the bogus crap that has become "Accepted", and "cut down aftermarket" or "mismatched driver - passenger seats" becomes worthy of a midseason "rule" change? Unbelievable.

Never thought about the visibility part, but those "new fast cars" seem to be catching a car, not looking back. With the short seats, wouldn't they require headrests on both sides to look right?
