Travis I also thank you for your post, but to Steve's comment about 6pt roll bars in all Stock/Super Stockers, I hope you all leave the current rules for that as they are, and as Dwight said anyone can put a roll bar in their car if they choose. My car is already 60-80lbs heavy with all of the legal weight removed. My rear seat stays, because a 4pt bar would be heavier than it.
Steve, if you want to add a 6pt roll bar to your car go for it, as Dwight mentioned. I am more concerned with driving around 18 wheelers on the highway, than being chased by an 8 second stocker. If their car stays tight and the track is prepped right, they should stay in their own lane as I would mine barring any unforseen situations.
Travis what I would rather see, is not just what Mark suggested, or those who spoke about the unqualified FS/XX cars run in Comp or even Super Stock, but that NHRA would bring back FF/S, and allow the Current EF/S cars two run in the slower class with their current index. Then allow V6 cars (like mine) another class to move down to, that would have a more favorable minimum weight/index. There originally was 16 classes A-H for fwd stockers, and that was hatched down to 5 (6 once the Supercharged Cobalts and Neon SRT's were made). I vote for adding FF and GF/S back, and leaving roll bar rules as they are! My .02
Bottom line Travis, I thank you for your news on the seat rule, and I will likely keep my stock seats, but I will certainly compliment my driver's seat, with an equal passenger side seat if I get to that point of replacing them....
