Leadfoot,

I've run my Cobra in open track events for 3 years using the standard seat. By the end of the second day, I was tired, my elbows hurt and my technique was ragged. At the end of last season I decided that this year I would use a race seat on the track and switch back to street seat for normal use. Instead I bought a track prepared '66 Mustang coupe with a Kirkey race seat. I had it out for a single day "test and tune" and what a difference it makes to have the seat rather than your arms hold you behind the wheel. It gives you more time and energy to focus on your driving!! I have my first open track weekend the 11th - the 13th and I'll let you know if I still love it.

Cheers, Pete
