Default Re: PANTS FOR SUPERSTOCK All Classes

Better seats are a great idea for stock, but only if mounted properly. Drilling holes through half rotted floor boards are not as safe as factory seats and tracks.

You are always allowed an upgrade past what is required, which a one-piece would surely be at least a 3.2A5

I bought a 3.2A1 pair of pants large enough to fit over my jeans, and use suspenders.....very nice over a set of lounging shorts in the summer, exit vehicle, drop pants, walk out of them.

Some guys would forget to put on the lounging shorts Dave

It appears that the NHRA has thrown the safety companies a biscuit...Stock and Super Stock racers. A close friend of mine races Super Street and he doesn't even have to wear fire pants unless he runs over 135 MPH, yet I'll have to wear them to run my stocker in '09. And just 2 years ago we were wearing T-shirts and jeans. It gets a bit confusing when you run NHRA, IHRA and brackets like I do...lets see, what do I have to wear now?

I was simply stating that I would be all for allowing aftermarket seats in stockers, if mounted like superstock cars, tied into cage. You know, "Mr 1664JA", like you have them mounted in your computer,er, I mean, car. Sorry for the mixup! LOL!

I mean.... Unless you REALLY want to....

And BTW.............. I don think the rules stop you from tying your stock seat into the cage if you want. But fix your rotted floors first huh?

Thinkin....................in an NHRA kinda way
Mr. Mark,

I didn't say anything about stock seats being tied into cages. I said aftermarket seats being tied into cages.

Now, who's thinkin' in a NHRA kinda way? Do us a favor, and use the eyes God gave you, and read my original post.....

Cool Re: PANTS FOR SUPERSTOCK All Classes

Ain't nothing rusty on any Cour car.

My ol Wagon, on the other hand, is being held together by the factory bench seat. I recovered it and added new carpet just to keep tech guys from looking under it-LOL.

I understood what Sean wrote-I guess I must be thinking too clearly. I'll read it again after a few beers.

No, this is the post I wanted you to reread. You, have yet to read it and fully understand what is being stated. Then I reitterated what you could not fully comprehend in my second post. Which, is the one I used to draw you a picture.

Now I'm through with this BS. If you want to take it further, PM me.

As for the quality of my cars, ask anybody who knows me or my cars. Rust is something you will not find anywhere on my ****!!!!!!
