OK stock seats the rule book says stock appearing you do alot with these rules depending on your tech guys can you build new frames for seats that are covered? My seats in my stocker look stock have never been questioned about them. Here is the saftey consern if you walk through the lanes I would say alot I meen alot of the cars are illegal if you read the rule book under roll bar the driver helmet must be 3 inches below the roll bar how many cars meet this. So start copping down your seat brackets to lower your seats change your foam to lower your self in the seats. The rule book says stock appearing.
Last year or the year before there was new racer in Division 1 with an A/SA Nova. He had aftermarket seats in this car. They were covered with black upholstery and they still stuck out like a sore thumb. Stock appearing isn't going to fly with aftermarket seats.
The funny thing is, this driver raced several times with these seats and NHRA never noticed.
