No but you move around a lot.

Great story you shared and the pictures speak volumes! I have some track time but not nearly enough in a street car and mostly drag strip racing. But I have driven other high performance machines and I did the SRT Track Experience even in the rain in rear-wheel drive cars around Sonoma. Talk about exciting...

Mark: MRLS on Tuesday this week. Sign up on HookedOnDriving.com. Where do you live in SouthBay? I'm in SJ near LG.

Plus I'm hoping they won't be ridiculously expensive, as they will be made in volume for lots of Camaro customers. Do you think a seat upgrade would be sufficient? I'm also planning on getting one of those seat belt locks.

I know the Recaros will keep you in the set better then our stock ones,but im sure there will still be a little movement in the torso area.Im not worried about a rollover with this car.At some point (after i get my car paid off and it's actually mine)i am going to be putting a half cage in so that i can run my 165 mph in Silver State,until then im limited to 140......as if that sucks...not

My car is currently in the shop and don't know if it will be ready in time and don't know if I can get off Tuesday or not. UI'd also want to get the track alignment and high temp brake fluid too. But I might be able to make Thunderhill on 8/9. I'll let you guys know.

I'd be interested to see them. I'm guessing you ran the 'Lightning' track.

My girlfriend took pictures with her phone so I just have to get those to a folder I can work with. I'll try to get the those by the end of today.

Yes we did run the "lightning" track.

I may have missed this, but can you post where, how and cost on this setup? I really like it.

Thanks.
