I think its real funny all the new safety stuff NHRA requires, however their own rule book prevents us from making the car safer by installing a race seat. NHRA should really consider what will happen if someone wrecks and injures themselves due to a stock seat failing. It will be their fault. The seats in new cars are designed to fail under a certain impact to prevent whiplash ( the back gives way), and 40 year old seats are questionable (afterall we have to replace the belts every two years). They are open to a lawsuit if anyone get seriously hurt with a stock seat in the car, because they were not allowed to change it.
