Mine are RCI. Last two years they changed to a softer vinyl. Looks nice, but crawling in & out tears them at the snaps pretty quick. Put new covers in (again) about mid season last summer. By Indy I had black Duck tape on the driver's side. I need to do something different now I guess. First set of covers lasted three years. Less than three weeks with these new covers.

Oh my, Seems as though I'm not the only one careless enough to have a RCI seat in a racecar. Who would have thought........

Thanks Chad, You never fail to amuse me.

Trust me, I get a good laugh out of you too.

my question is, does this rule mean we can use a 4dr seat in a 2dr?

Not unless the rule changed recently.

Uhhh. Actually it did.

I don't think you would have a hard time with this. Just find an "aftermarket" bench seat. I would not go into to much detail as to where it came from . It will look more normal than kirkeys and other will and that are clearly legal.

Are these really the same seats that come in the new DPs?
Are people using them?
I'm guessing "no"?
Have to be plastic, right?

Ed, those are Procar seats. The ones I have, have welded tubular steel frames with zigzag springs. I'm sure they are made in China but they seem pretty sturdy.

Thanks Greg!

I know old seats can be a safety issue thing but why would you want anything other than a factory seat. I cant imagine having anything but my factory 68 Camaro seats....super comfortable. This is one rule that I wont be jumping on....weight savings or not. Maybe ill put a Kirkey on the passenger side of my car and keep the factory bucket for comfortable racing HAHAHAH
