I was concerned for safety reasons and due to my size. I think I can find alot more to complain about than a guy having a different seat in his car. So long as I make weight who cares what seat I or anyone else is running as long is is factory type. If they have the same option to run a different seat which according to NHRA they do, it is their option. If they choose not to do so and it gives me an advantage then so be it. Don't like it change it.

I think Travis spelled this out pretty well.
No one at NHRA wants to nit pick what kind of seats you have.
However , a 4 dr seat in a 2 dr car, or buckets seats in a station wagon is pushing the envelope too far for Stock (as in "Stock appearing)
If Mopar had a rare bucket seat option in the 60's, then those are the exact type of seat one should be able to run, complete with factory floor brackets ,..and documentation.
Otherwise, notch the bench seat frame and have it upholstered that way, or build a shifter mount that moves it up and back over the seat ,within reach.
It's as simple as that.. In fact,...Next question?
