Default Where can I test fit race seats?

I'm located about 45 minutes west of the Lehigh Valley. After riding in a couple cars this past weekend with seats and harnesses, I think it's time to start looking into them.

Are there any performance shops within reasonable driving distance that stock a decent selection of race seats? I also go to NJMP a few times a year, so any shops along that route would be fine also (I take 476 down to 76 through Philly).

Oh and Freq, what's your passenger seat? It was a bit tight, but at least I have something to compare to.

There are reasons I got a small passenger seat. You should have sat in my drivers seat, it would likely fit you perfectly. Sparco Circuit 2

There were literally DOZENS of race seats there this past weekend. There is no better place to try containment seats than at the track.

If I were you I would have asked to sit in every S2000 that had a containment seat in it.

Oh, Stable Energies has a nice selection of seats. Not easy to get to though.

Yeah, I decided AFTER I got home that I should probably look into it.. lol. I am planning on going to more NASA events this year though, so I should be able to do exactly that (I won't be buying anything til the season is over anyway).

You going to MPACT in August? I'm not a big fan of Pocono, so I might go and volunteer again. I'll hop in your driver seat there if you're going.

EDIT: decided to look up videos from MPACT. The layout they use actually looks pretty fun. Time to rethink my decisions....

Yes, we'll be at the ///MPACT event. It's so close to home that we almost HAVE to go. My car will be there too, it's a fun little course for sure.

Plus you get the car show and the roll racing, it's different and volunteering is an easy way to earn track credits. (no scales, no impound)
