i don't think that those seats are that light,i think that they are in the 30lbs range! getting ready for the nopi event in august?

 

yeah man i'm hoping to get closer to the 11's

 

kirkey - about as light as you will be able to find as far as i can tell

drop me an email if you like to james@titanmotorsports.com and I will see what i can do on the price of one for you

 

Kirkey Aluminum Racing Seats are very light, also I've heard of people using carbon fiber shifter cart seats for drag cars. But as far as prefab, any light aluminum chair like a kirkey will do..

 

hey whats up albert yeah i'll probably go for the kirkey

i'll see you there, good luck with your seat selection!

 

also what bracket would i use to mount this seat,basically this car will still be street driven so i will switching the seat in and out of the car

 

you can get alum seats that weight 9lbs

 

We are very happy with our Kirkey seats - adding the upholstery covers makes them very comfortable. They are also available in different seat widths.
You can check the seats out in our car on page 2. http://www.cardomain.com/id/oaksracing

what seat wich kirkey seat are you using? what width? how tall/heavy are you? how much did your seat weight with the brakets? what might be confortable to someone, might not be for someone else. i always liked the kirkey seats, i just never heard enough info to make me buy one!

 

i got the 17" kirkly.. and it was two inches too wide.. but they offer a 15"... i just cut some out of the middle and re-welded it... i also cut the top off to try to save weight.. they use thick aluminum... you could make one yourself that is a lot lighter if you have the time/capabilities.. but for $99 you cant really beat em

 

thanks smokey hope to see you there aswell,does anyone have the exact weight of the kirkey seat

Summit Racing Seat

The new ones are light as hell. I just got one. Not the short one, but the taller one with the slanted cutouts for the harness.
