Is this seat back brace good enough for NHRA Rules? It looks like it would be and a simple piece to add into a car without having to go through fabrication. I was going to order one for my Kirkey but wanted to get opinions, the rules do not state against it and of course rules are made to be interpreted in this situation.

anyone?

 

While I'm sure it's just fine, call NHRA and/or email that link to them and you'll have your answer on the spot.

That's a nice piece for people who don't want to bring their cars some place for a simple seat brace and can't weld.

 

Hmmm. Looks good

 

well hell i saw outlaw cars at englishtown that didnt have seat braces with the kirkey pro drag seat so i dont know what the hell they really want to see lol.

 

Good point, had tech been better they would have been SOL though.

Try calling the mfg. of that brace too, I'm sure they wouldn't make something that isn't legal. Probably easier than manipulating NHRA's phone menu haha

 

that looks big and bulky! which is good and all but there is another mount but much more attractive to the eye! let me find it!

That is made for auto power roll bars and they don't use the same size bars that other cage companies use, i have a modified SW cage so it wont fit, plus it looks DINKY!

 

haha true. what size tubing is required per NHRA rules? for chromoly, I dont have my car here so I cant measure.

 

I would probably have to due away with the ball lock pin if I used the original posted one, it states in the rules about not having ball lock pins.

I already have a cage so size doesnt matter at this mount this thing is universal.

 

I'm pretty sure that bar is 1 5/8"

 

thank you Ryan. If anything I can put it on the mill and open it up a bit to accomadate my cage!

 

yeah, I can buy the 1 1/2 model and open it up to 1 5/8. easy as pie

 

oh well, the ioport looks more rigid anyways.

 

I used this one from Jegs. http://www.jegs.com/p/Jegster/Jegste...50988/10002/-1

 

my seat back is further than 4" from the harness bar anyways. its like 6 or 7"

Im trying to KISS with this seat swap lol
