Re: Racing Seats for a Stocker

Glad someone posted the issue about the 6 inches as I am currently RIGHT in the middle of installing some Kirkey's in a Nova. Still safer than a bench seat and feels a whole lot better.

The rule is that your head can be no further in front of the roll bar than 6 inches. With the buckets I am almost twice that far so I can still reach the push buttons...64' savoy.

Thanks for the input, guys. By the time I could properly install the poly seats they would be more expensive than I thought.

Instead of moving the rollbar forward, complete the rest of a full rollcage and the helmet can be more than 6" in front of the main hoop. Besides a full rollcage offers more protection than a rollbar.

Also remember that poly seat bottoms are thicker than Kirkey seats and can put the top of the drivers helmet above the rollbar/rollcage.

How do you determine the layback and width of these seats? Rule book says aftermarket seats. Does not specify racing seats.

There are lots of cars out there running the poly seats. The Kirkeys are a very nice seat and look great too.
This........ Just like below........I've had them in my car since day one. They look better , are comfortable and are braced PROPERLY. I havent seen a Kirkey seat that looks as nice either.

Those look nice.
Since I am putting a roll bar in this winter it will be a perfect time to install racing seats.
