There are a lot of folks who have had conversations with me about safety devices and elements in hot rods, race cars, and the like. And those of you who have watched our BangShift.com LIVE broadcasts know I’m pretty vocal about the fact that racers will spend a jillion dollars to go 1/1oth of a second quicker, but will gripe about spending a fraction of that on a real race seat, engine diaper, scatter shield, or what have you. Well if you are one of those guys that doesn’t want to the spend the money, or doesn’t care about their own life, then you can stop reading now. But if you are someone that has a family that cares about you, likes yourself, or just wants to be held in the car so you can drive it to its full potential, then Racetech just might have the seat for you. And for those of you, like me who have a little too many pounds around the middle, or are just big guys or gals, Racetech’s new RT4119WHR is the seat for you. It’s a full containment seat that is appropriate for Pro-Touring, Road Race, Off-Road, Land Speed, and even Drag Racing.
It’s designed specifically for those of us that need a wide seat to fit into. If your waist size is 35 inches or larger, most race seats are not made for you. This one is. And it meets all safety requirements for most sanctioning bodies. Oh and it also has fresh air vents you can hook up your AC or fresh air system to! Yeah, I’d have a hose coming off the Vintage Air in my dash in about 10 seconds and feed nice cold air to my back. Like right now.
Here are photos and information on this sucker. Read it and check them out. Remember, if you race long enough, something is going to happen. Be safe, and comfortable, and look into the right seat for your ride.
Here is all the info from Racetech:
