Floyd,
That wording has been the same in the rulebook for at least 20 years(word for word), we have never been allowed to change seats in that time

You did the right thing by asking nhra, my suggestion is that you get it in writing, because you will be disappointed if another nhra person makes you change them.

Can't you just put some monte buckets in there ? I thought you could get a bench or buckets in most Monte's

Generally keep 2 things in mind

1. not every tech person is going to be correct every time

2. look at the rulebook as a general thing, if they were specific on everything it would be 100 times bigger, generally if other seats were allowed it would read something like"any seat allowed from same manufacturer" but again be carefull, get it in writing.

I am trying to keep you from a potential problem down the road

both of my stockers would be better cars with lighter seats, i could use the wt reduction to my advantage, but until i see it allowed i ain't changing them.
