[Fot] Race Seat

[John H. Hasty]

I must not have sent to all, but Steve points out the problem of buying an off the shelf seat...as I pointed out, Baker will custom make a seat that fits you, just like they do for the NASCAR guys, I guess the problem is you have to come to their shop in Charlotte; but there must be other shops that do the same thing... find one.

I also had the cage re-worked to fit the seat and and give me protection on the left-side.  I had the Kirkey seat-cover modified at an upholstery shop to fit the changed seat.  I also added some custom foam lumbar-support pieces to the seat cover.  The trick is to get the seat as low as possible in the car, then lean it back just right for your comfort.  Test it while wearing your helmet and Hans device.
