***Hey David, where in the GCR does it say you can mount the seat 6" behind the main hoop? Just curious as to what started this all.***
Earl & Ty, I'll get to the crux of the issue with two screwed up rules we have. The number one screwed up rule is the main hoop diagonal rule. Mount the diagonal from either main hoop top corner to wherever. DUH, that rule SURE don't provide maximum protection for the driver & that's the reason for the roll cage. The number two screwed up rule is the main hoop horizontal rule as ong as the horizontal may be bent. This shit of drivers sitting under the main hoop all started with Production cars & when a letter was writen the Comp Board pre CRB Fastrack response was not written relative to the written rules.
When one is allowed to implement the diagonal about any which way you want let's mount the diagonal from the main hoop upper corner passenger side to the lower main hoop brace position on the drivers side. Now lets implement the horizontal that is bent rearward 8 inches. Totally legal & we have all viewed horizontals bent rearward. Now let's mount the seat at an angle with the seat top tilted rearward untill the seat rests against the horizontal that's been bent 8 inches rearward. The drivers head is now under the roll cage main hoop & his head will hit the underside of the main hoop & NO integral or non-integral head rest per the written rules is going to stop the drivrs head from striking the underside of the main hoop.
Disagree or agree please continue the discussion.
