I still thnk there is something wrong with a system that lets a Stock car cross over into Super Stock and still be a legitimate qualifier. Seems like one and the same car to me.

and the comparison to SCCA was not to road racing but to Solo II autocross. That's one car on the track, in a set of cones, usually not exceeding 100mph. The see it fit to allow race seats because if they did not, and someone were injured in a method that could have been prevented, they feel that they would be responsible for it.
