(Caution opinion to follow and apologies to Ryan for hijacking the thread. last post here. I will ask to get this split this off)
Only mount seats as designed. Most composite seats only floor mount via 4 points. flexi floor mounted seats don't cut it IMO. A back brace does not stop dumping from an offset impact,.
Many make fun of Nascar but once they embraced driver safety they moved well forward of other racing groups. The drivers seating systems are designed to hold the driver and his/her head in place. The systems have many reinforcement points for the torso and halo. The seat and car become one. This is a problem for cars driven on the street and multi driver cars.
