NHRA stock eliminator seats

I believe you have to use original equip seats for stock.

Is this true?

Also, are the original seats relieved of the basic requirement that says you have to attach the seat to the roll bar? Where does it say that?

Thanks

Jeff

Jinxy,no reflection on you but I wouldn't touch that question with a ten foot pole.There was a thread a while back that turned into WWF wrestling before the dust settled.Good luck.
I'd just walk back slowly away from the keyboard.:>):>):>)

Are stock elim rules a secret? What gives?

Yes you have to use OEM seats. No they do not have to be bolted to the roll bar. That's all the anwser your going to get without all the worm's spilling out of the can.

Thanks. I'm about to have a bar installed on a 1970 Dart with factory bench seat.

Currently you must use OEM seats. You do not need to afix them in any way to the roll bar. I ain't sayin no more. Jim

I'll use the factory seat for now, if they change I can switch to a race seat. Is this a change coming down the line at the NHRA?

The rule book says stock type seats. Travis clarified in an earlier thread that they must be correct for the year and model, although there are cars out there without the correct seats.
