I went to go road racing at Pocono over the weekend, and the tech guy said that my head was over the factory roll bar so they would t let me on the track. so i was wondering what seat would bring me the lowest.I might go with a roll bar but i don't want to cut up my car. Thanks for your advice in advance.

 

Any side mount fixed bucket should be able to drop you 2+ inches. That will bring up a bunch more issues though, not sure if they will let you run it with a stock seat belt. In that case you would need a harness and a proper way to mount it. As long as your head is under the windshield frame you should be fine, I guess certain organizations are picky.

 

Yeah most bucket seats with the correct rail will let you get it on the floor. I have a recaro pole position and the bottom of the seat is no more than 1/2" from the floor.

With a helmet it's pretty hard to be under the factory roll hoop even if you're short. Without a helmet I'd say I'm an inch below the factory roll hoop. You'd probably be best off just getting a rollbar. If I had to make any guesses that track will eventually require you to have one weather your head is below the factory hoops or not.

 

do you have any recommendations on a role bar. i really don't want to cut up my car.

 

for one thats going to meet standards check out the racing forum. they will have better info

 

Yes, and it gets trickier than you think. On the east coast you end up going to a hard top in many places, out west they are starting to get stricter. I run a dual density roll pad that gives me 2" more "height"

 

I really need to scratch this race Itch i got. I didn t know that it would be that difficult. i guess ill go to the racing forum to get more answers
