What are all you light weights running for seats, are you running a fire control system?

There is a lightweight seat available from Kirkey that is a real popular choice for cutting down weight.  I know Casey Roderick runs this seat.  I want to say it ways a total of 19 pounds? 

I think the norm is for people to run about 30 lbs over the 1300 pound minimum.  I know Billy Fulson does, and Zac Kittle as well.

I don't know if I can make the car win, but I think I can make it run fast enough to where people think we're cheating.

If they ask if we're cheating, smile and answer,"Yes".  They won't believe you if you say,"No".

OK.  I'm going to have to pay attention and look at the bloody seat for real now.  I haven't a clue which seat I actually have.  I'm lousy on brand names and models, so I'll have to make a real effort and answer properly!

I need the added weight of the seat and the walker to make up for the burgers and beer I missed out on at Ricky B's.

LOL!!!!!

Naw mane, I'm a lightweight myself.  The lighter you can get the car, the more lead you can put on where you want it to be :).

I knew you anorexic boys were starving yourself so you could add lead!  I'm going to inhale helium before every race.  Just need to pass that tiny tot, Ricky Booby!

 ;D Mike

Wait, that was 199 posts for me!  Gotta cut that out...

LOL, and I just picked up a new Kirkey seat.  Even lighter than the old one :-).  I am going to have to get a lightweight aluminum steering wheel soon too.  See if I can't get this car down to 1101 :-)

2.75  kilograms = 6.0627 pounds.

That's a pretty light weight seat!
But; it doesn't include head restraint, shoulder supports, or leg protection.
When I get mine all bolted together, I'll weigh it and let you know where I am at.
That seat is also carbon fiber, and (if you convert the current exchange rate) VERY EXPENSIVE!!!
I think it was 620.00 British Pounds. Don't have a conversion chart for that.
I'm using Butler Built and Kirkey stuff; and have what amounts to a full containment seat.

I would re-think your dollars VS weight savings. Besides; We are going SCCA, and INEX rules don't necessarily apply.

Just my thoughts,

You know what, we don't know what Tweety weighs exactly because the one night that the Capt. won the race, he was so excited he forgot to go to the tech shed to be weighed and teched!!  True story!!  And the tech man came into the pits and told him but he didn't disqualify him for it and no one protested about it because everyone was so excited for us. *L*

LOL!
That's Funny!!!
It was good to hear about the win, especially with all the bad luck you had with the engine.

Hope the dirt track venture works out better for you.

So I guess if they were to weigh the car after a dirt race, it'd be much heavier...  That mud can really pack in there.

It'd be interesting to see what it does weigh in the end.
