Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
Thank's guy's Think what I'm going to do is take the ones I got with me, run over to my supplier after I get to the city and drop off my truck and trailer at the fabricators. Try the Kirkey and the RCI seats, and if I don't use the ones I have bring them home and take them back to where I got them in town.
I'm sure I can't complicate it any more than I have all ready, had my fill of this seat ordeal.

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
And the winner is Kirkey Pro drag seats, truck is there, measurements taken will be done by the end of next week. If I remember I'll get some pics of the pro street 71 Chev short box he's doing for a guy, full cert cage, back half 4-link, front suspension all done up, 3" chop. Motor's going to be set back, fabbed fire wall and floor, all discs fab 9" rear end, he said the back was all done once before and the guy changed his mind and it had to be again. LOL wish I had that budget. It's like Djracers truck taken one more level.
Anybody get some racing in?

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
I went racing tonite , if you can call it that . 104 air temp , 137 track temp according to the hand held temp gage , i was spinning off the line , that hasn't been a problem before , had the tire pressure down to 9lbs , plus the truck wouldn't cool down below 180 deg. The dragster dudes said the air was registering at 6400 ft. Anyway very small turnout , no one else in my bracket , that 68 is so predictable , ran a 66 on a 65 dial in , last week it was running 49 on a 49 dial in . I don't think i'd bother going to the track when it's that hot , i was just curious how it would react .
Later ........................................... 409

On another note, I got charged $70 re-stocking fee on the first crappy seats I ordered in. Even after I asked the little parts geek before I ordered and he said no charge if I had to bring them back, the butt-munch owner took $70!

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
Here are a few pics from the past at the local track. I have no details at all on the trucks or even how old the pics are.

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
No pics of yours what's up with that?
What's the deal with the 4 bars out the back of the cab? I have never seen that before and you show 2 trucks like that! The first truck you show needs allot of bars to replace the strength taken out with the firewall!

 The first one, Not sure what they are putting in for a firewall I think steel just shaped for the set back motor. Didn't ask about the extra bars, It has serious cage so far, lot's of extra braces inside also. Could it be possible that it's that way to do away with the funny car cage but still tech for 8's? It was 1/2 done then taken to this guy, and now being changed, not sure what stays and goes.One thing that I don't like on mine is my seat sits too far forward now, I have to try and move the pedals forward for more leg room. He made my back hoop a bit different as a trade off. It has 2 down bars from the top that tie to the frame, and to the back bars, with it like this the NHRA inspector allowed the side bars to attach with plates to the floor and not tie into the frame. Also let me keep my slider and make room for the back bars to travel through the corners. But bad side, head rest hits on the bar and has to be moved forward, not good when your 6'1" 250lbs.  My truck is camera shy when it's stripped down I was going to take a few pics on Sunday, but got a little off track and didn't get around to it. I'll for sure post some when I pick it up.
