A friend of mine is building a car like mine for Turbo 4 class....He is a bigger guy (around 250-260) with a 40-42 inch waiste....whats a good seat thats legal for the NDRA for 10's...I have looked around and found alot of seats are for 34-38 inch waiste.....any tips would be great....

I told his *** to go on the atkins diet LOL

 

buy my sparco torino im a fat kid too just not that big lolol pm me if interested

 

any other advice on a good "bigger guy" type seat....he weighs around 250-260

 

check out Kirky. they have a wide range of sizes, and can even do custom sizes. They are quite affordable as well, a real good value, and light weight.

 

are they comfortable? and also who has good prices on them?

 

18 inch hip should be fine for him, jegs got them ther are other styles, but this seems to be the only one they stock with an 18 hip size

 

ah heres some more info from kirkeys site, they make them bigger than 18, keep in mind you have to buy the seat cover as an option

Drag Racing Seat
41000 Series

Designed for All Door Slammers

You may not think so, but a professional aluminum racing seat is as important in a drag car as it is in a oval or road racer. The increased feel for your car will help you with chassis set-up and give you more consistent times. And you will be able to concentrate on the lights better if you are comfortable and relaxed. It may also mean saving the car if you get out of shape, and at the speeds today's door slammers reach, you need all the safety features of a KIRKEY racing seat.

Alright thanks guys.

 

Check out Sparco's Evo 3 that should be more then enough room
