Larry,
Only the heavy cars should get the seat removal, a car that must add weight should not be allowed seat removal. That was one of the bad rules in IHRA T/Stk.

How about this rule for Top Stock: drivers seat has to have at least 300# in it, including driver. Lighter drivers would have to have weight under the seat to make driver weight of 300#. That way I don,t have to add any weight or upset the balance of my car. Bottom line is same rules for all. My car, like most will run A,B, or C, your rule would only affect AA cars. It's about having Fun. My money would be on the street '15 COPO's @ 365hp or the 345hp "Vetts

Mr Larry your rule would eliminate people like Allison Smyth, there's no way she could safely add 200 pounds of ballast under her seat! Merry Christmas

I would like to try this but at 8.25 lb /445 hp my car will be a bit heavy. 3841 lbs. aaaa I don't think so....

When is Atco? Just checking

Why restrict it to AA-C cars? It would be fun to find a jockey sized driver and see how much weight I could get out of the car. From what I’ve heard, Brad Van Lant ran his D car in top stock several years back.
