So is anyone running the cheapo plastic race seats in the street/strip car?

at our local dirt track we had a broken straight exhaust pipe go through the floor and into the driver through the (plastic seat) killing him . so think safety first.

Not sure on drag strip sanctioning but most dirt track sanctioning bodies do not allow fiberglass or plastic racing seats, have to be aluminum.

Ik just looking to lighten it up a little. The stock seats are heavy as all get out. They aren't the most comfortable seats anyways.

You think a stock seat or even an aluminum one is going to change that? Sounds like driveshaft loops were not being used...

Op, I have them in my 68 dart and they are better fitting than the stock seats (bench and buckets) while being more comfortable, that is unless you carry lol

Don't think driveshaft loops will help with broken exhaust pipe:color:
