I took out lighter seats to go with something I thought was safer. For whatever reason, I don't feel safe sitting on a bench seat in a race car. Granted we're going a blistering 7.50's at 90mph, but I still don't like it. We went to heavier seats and have people complaining. The funny part, we are not fast for our class. It's not like I'm knocking on the top of the ladder sheet. All of the upgrades we've done to the car, were about safety. If you look at the cage my dad put in this car, you'd swear we're running 5's. It's probably safer than the SS car we have haha. If this were over something that gave a performance advantage, I'd totally understand. We just want to go to the track and have fun. Any board member that has met me knows that is all I care about. I'm not out there trying to qualify number 1 or screw up a factoring.

It won't be hard to figure out who caused all this drama. I can't imagine people outside of my class range are going to care, for obvious reasons. I just wish they would have come up and talked to me rather than being a taddle tale, are we 12 now? Sometimes it is best to let sleeping dogs lie.
