BS, the REAL reason is safety....I've been around a fair number of road courses as well as driven some pretty fast door cars and dragsters....a racing seat provides a real sense of security. Granted, a secondary consideration is the fact you could theoretically move a bit more weight to the rear but if you can't hook a stocker without resorting to that then you've got other issues in play.

Stock appearing racing seats should be a no brainer! The problem is changing the minds of the people with no brains. Two year harnesses but no safety seats? Really? This *IS* a safety issue! Jim

Is having to run factory seats really such a safety concern for some people? I always thought that the 5 point safety harness was what kept the driver in position, not the seat. Silly me.

you can slide around on a old bench seat and whack your side on that big old bar that runs down the left side of your car,it would be nice have my ***** in a tight seat when/if thing go wrong.

You sir are a perfect example of the type of person I was speaking of in my previous post! Thanks for your post. You actually would prefer your 26 year old stock seat made for comfort over a racing seat made for crash survival? I bet you don't think you really need a helmet either. To bad they won't let you wear that chrome WW2 German motorcycle helmet you think looks so cool! Jim
