hey i was wondering what exactly is the ruling on race/sports/aftermarket seats in street classes?
i seen people at finals with crx's that have sports seats. i guess that is legal?
what if i put same type of a seat into a mid size suv? is this still legal? given they fit into the mounts without any modifications.
what if i have one sport seat and one regular factory seat, is this legal?
by sports seats i mean something like this

For clarification purposes, the dBDRA uses the term "modification" to describe changes to the vehicle that have been made in order to accommodate the sound system or to improve the competitor's score.
Some examples of passenger compartment modifications include:
* Replacing the OEM glass * Replacing the OEM dashboard * Replacing the OEM seats Look to the matrix and vehicle mods are not allowed.
This is where it get complicated.
What is your intent?
SPL or Comfort....

this is where it gets even more complicated....
what if my intent is neither SPL no really comfort? what if it's just for looks/show?
At finals, will a judge be asking the question you just asked to determine the legitimacy of the seats?

Mike it was just a thought/question, but I have had seen this in cars.
I would still like to get that same question answered as far as db drag rules go.

so according to the rules you cant have one factory and one racing seat, ok.
how about 2 racing seats that are neither for spl nor for comfort but rather for show?

according to the rules racing seats are allowed but plastic video game seats arent. I think 1 racing one oem should be legal because I have seen tonnes of cars for sale in canada with that mod. racing seats can be expensive and sometimes people cant afford two after wasting their money on all the db drag equipment to be competitive in street.

Hey, didn't Ana have racing seats in her crx? Were those for show or spl? Who knows, who cares. It should just be a clarified rule IMO.

yes this is what im saying Andy. You were a judge at the san mateo location where the loudest Street A had racing seats. What's up with that?
i guess my racing seats will have to be for "comfort" then.

* Go-Cart seats, arcade game seats, dune buggy seats, etc. are not considered equivalent OEM seat replacements because they do not closely resemble the OEM seat in structural rigidity, cosmetics, or size. * Seats must bolted in the OEM locations of the vehicle with the exception of the Extreme Division. * A minimum separation of 12 inches (30.48 cm) must be maintained between the seat and the sensor location at all times. * If a seat originally came with a headrest then the headrest must remain attached to the seat during competition.

I'd say 2 racing seat's are a go, 1 racing seat would be iffy, and most car's you see with 1 only have the 1 seat in it, and they throw the stock passanger seat in so someone can ride with them. Not sure if it helps spl or not, but most of the "loud" Street people are using them.

No contradicting, thats why I said "according to the rules" no mods.
I don't have a problem with the seats!

what mods are you talking about? cuz now it seems that you contradicted yourself in the same post. I'm asking about the seats. Are seats considered a "mod"? Or are they fine?

Id also think about ordering the extra wide version of the racing seats. More "comfortable" to the termlab.
Then you can experiment with custom seat tracks raising and lowering the seats too. As long as they bolt in stock-ish.
