Default What driver seat?

Wondering what everyone is using for a seat? This is my second race that my back is killing me afterwards. I am launching with a trans brake with 1.34 60'. I am wondering if my seat is to soft. I am using a pair of Corbeau Forza seats. They are kind of heavy but very comfortable. I think they are springs and foam. One of the index rules is need 2 seats.

It could be I am getting old. Or climbing in and out of the car with the cage.

I got the Forza seats for my road racing project and ordered them with inflatable lumbar support. I wonder if yours could be retrofitted?

Just a thought.....

Kirkey seats in mine. I've added some extra padding in the bottom of the seat and for lumbar support. Lightweight, strong and comfortable enough to drive 1200 miles in 4 days in them. 😁

Exactly what he said! They were surprisingly comfy for the miles we drove the car everyday!

Kirkey as well. Pretty darn comfortable for what they are.
