Default Re: New Rule Revision For Stock and S/S

I would like to know how after market seats got into stock in the first place? Just about any seat can be redone, so I don't see the reasoning. But the tooth paste is out of the tube now.
Here again, you pay your membership monies to NHRA for them to police and maintain a category. But NHRA just ignores what stock roots were and just plows along with decisions about (we don't want to check anything) rules that bastardizes the originality of stock.

Casey,
If you do a search, this subject has been discussed to death.'
My opinion, with the high speeds involved, an OEM seat is not as safe as a good racing seat as regards to protecting a driver.

So I can replace my stock bench seat with 2 lightweight aftermarket seats as long as they match.... how does that work if the car doesn't require a roll bar. Seat belts.?

Well, Mr. carbuilder,
The way I see it is you just might have to talk your customers into building 68 Camaros from now on.
Put your headrests on the roll bars, and they're good to go.
