Do Stockers need correct year seats?

[Floyd Gomez]

I recieved an email a short time ago. I would like to appologize to everyone on this topic. It seems that after the discussion on here NHRA has decided to ammend the rule book as follows:

Floyd,

Using Camaro seats in your Monte Carlo would not be acceptable for Stock Eliminator. The rulebook states under upholstery “must have full factory-type seats;’ and as you stated must be of factory type. With that said I can see that this could become an issue of how one interprets the current wording; so I’ll make an amendment to specifically state that “seats must be correct for year and body claimed.”

Looks like I will be trying to find Monte Carlo Buckets because according to D. Gracia in tech notching the seat is also not legal.

End of topic.Now let's go on to the next one.Maybe in about 30 years or so we'll have the rulebook straightened out.
But hey,at least this is a move in the right direction.Thank you to someone at NHRA HQ"s for clearing this up.

There Ken and Jack.See,I give them credit when it's due.

Small point of order, but how can you then put Viper seats into a Drag Pack? Of course the Drag Packs have several other things that don't come in them in stock form like their crate motors. And some will claim the Viper seats are original issue in the Drag Packs. Oh well....
