Hey guys, just figured I'd post this, I read through the CCR, i'm fairly confident everthing I did should padd tech, aside from me not putting any padding on the main hoop - does anyone see anything that should be address to pass tech. Again this is just HPDE.

Seats and 5 point harness - 3" shoulder straps



Mounts:



Seat back brace - 3/16" thick, 1" sq Al tubing, U bolt on the harness bar and L bracket on the seat



Roll bar pics - 4 point autopower "race" roll bar





Diaganol in same plane as the main hoop, harness bar is behind -

Backing plate in wheel well (same for all mounts)

Nice set up for HPDE +
Which Kirkey seat did you install?
Also thinks for the look at your seat brace, I have to fix something my self for my seat.

Only thing I am not too fond of is the seatback brace. I would like to see something that spreads the load a little more evenly across the back...but that is just me.

The Kirkey seats have an extra plate welded to where the seat back brace connects to spread the load, so I figured as long as I put the L bracket on that, the load will still be spread out.

They are Road Race Intermediate's 20 degree lay back with the air knit covers. About $450 a pop (covers included). 15" for me (i'm about 6' 175-180lbs, 33" waist), and 16" for the pass (I have a little room in the pass seat, but figured I'd be nice to the instructors!

I would flip the roll bar mounting nuts and bolts around. Two reasons, one, it makes it simple to perform a visual check that they have not backed out, and two, the nut and threads won't be as prone to exposure that might cause them to rust/seize up. Will make removal easier down the road if necessary.

Never thought about that - very smart!

Those feet seem VERY small to me.

That's Autopower for you :shrug:

Also was concerned with the seat back brace, but if you're fine with it that's what counts. Everything else looks good!

nice setup but how comfortable are the kirkeys?
