[Fot] TR3 Seat

[Tony Drews]

I have a Kirkey seat with wings around my ribcage.  It doesn't have 
the shoulder wings like the Nascar seats have (and THAT is the way to 
go from a safety standpoint), but I like it.  Uncle Jack hated wings 
like that so he bought a Kirkey "Drag" seat.  That doesn't have the 
wings and looks pretty nice.  And, it's cheap.

Regarding the Hans issue - I have a high back seat and have no issue 
with it interfering with my HANS device.  Of course I have a little 
more built in padding than some (most) too, so that may be a 
factor.  :)  I did have to make the shoulder belt slot much larger to 
get the angle of the seat belt over the HANS device to work well.
