Dude thanks for posting that. I have been looking for an altenative to racing seats.
Yes. It pins your shoulders back against the seat. It does have some movement vs a true race seat and harness, but much much better than the stock 3 point. As I was reviewing/critiquing some AutoX runs over the summer I noticed I was taking some 1.1+ g corners with just one hand on the wheel.
Sounds like you might be pulling yourself forward hard enough to take weight off the seat back. Relax and try to just rotate the steering wheel like you would in street driving.
So I assume you move the seat to a more layed back position to fit with a helmet?
I haven't had this issue at other tracks, just Dawsonville. The big carousel going into the front straight is a left hand turn. so you are being pulled from the thighs up into the pasenger seat. Always felt like I could take it faster but was always unbalanced.
Most my height is in my legs but it just felt like my body was shifting all over. Since the mustang isnt my daily I may invest in a bucket seat and harness/bar. Im assuming taking the factory seat and bolting in the aftermarket shouldnt be too time consuming so maybe I can just do it when I get to the track. Im not sure Ive never had aftermarket seats before so Im not sure how much of a pain in the ass it is. I dont mind taking a half hour or so to swap seats at the track. I just wouldnt drive on a highway with out airbags.
Not sure I understand this, when at Dominion you're going to be up around or above 1g around all those concrete walls.
