Default Stupid Question but I gota ask

I will be at the NASA event on 3rd/4th of Nov. getting observed for my ECHC thingy in the advanced group.

Question is:

Do I have to have a passenger seat?

I have never been to a NASA event before and do not know the requirements. Since I will be drivin my asssss off to get to SP (6+ hrs), I need all the cargo room I can muster. In order to bring the kitchen sink and beer, I need the room plus the car is not properly outfitted for passenger safety (I.E. 5point harness)

please advise.

Full cage?
My best guess would be that a pass. seat would not be "required" in a race car.

Though, as you know, it's not my call.
Good luck, ed.

Nope, your car is "supposed to be" fully race preped... I will have mine, but will have no one in it.. You will be observed from another "chase" car.. So bring the BEER

In Grumpy's own words: "RaceCars don't need passenger seats".
