Kirkey vs. Summit Racing Seats

[SBstar]

140lbs! I should make you drive my car ha ha!

Did you get a weight on the Rev? Seems like a nice seat and it's probably way more comfortable then the summit.

Lol, yeah Shane, I take my weight loss seriously! !

I haven't weighed the Rev yet but I can get a weight for you. It's much more comfy and it definitely keeps you locked in place!

One question for you guys, how and where did you mount your submarine belt?

Your belt is mounted incorrectly. I have kirkeys also and love it. Can't run it at the track til cage is welded in soecifically cause mounting a belt like this will fail tech.

That was from back in February. You can see in the current picture that it is no longer mounted like that.

Installing a 4 - 5 point harness should NOT be about passing tech (which in this case it shouldn't). It should be about driver safety. In the event of a crash / roll over, a stock seatbelt allows you to fall towards the center of the car should the roof collapse. In a 4 or 5 point harness, you do not have that option, without a cage the roof meets your head.

IMO no car without a cage or at minimum a roll bar should have a 4 - 5 point harness. Safety first guys, go fast later.

Yeah I'm only installing a cage cause i went 11.1@132 without one. No one said anything yet but i know I'm faster then the saftey NHRA requires. So I'm stuck to TNT til the cage, kirkey, and cipher auto 5pt are all in at the same time.
