I like them, the non-reclinable thing is starting to bug me a little, and the lumbar could be a little more supportive. I'm getting old and after 16 hours in those things I was popping aleve like candy. Actually whenever I need to take aleve I usually take 6 at a time. There's a container of them in the car now

I MAY look at some Brides, or some reclinable seats over the winter. Something that seats you lower but offers more padding. I dunno, we'll see. For 3 hour runs they're great, after that I tend to slouch a little and my back get's stiff. I did sleep in the passenger one for like 2-5 to three hours the first morning though and woke up feeling fine. I wouldn't rec it though. The honduh with the reclining seats was way better. I was able to curl up

NICE! TIG is a great thing to learn. I would definately be leaning as much as possible and building as much as possible out of AL. PITA to weld compared to MIG'ing mild steel but the weight savings are def worth it.

Yeah, I'm an old bastard. I was actually getting alot of shit about it over the walkies. There was one instance where we were getting off the highway, I was running 3'rd behind the FD who was behind the honduh, the honda made some smart ass comment about being old and slow so I dropped a gear or two, went roaring around the FD on the exit ramp, lite them up through the left hander onto the intersection to get around the honda and into the gas station first..... AJ (Duffman) in his FB bringing up the rear made some comment like, "what a jackass. Look at the old bastard in his midlife crisis mobile." I lol'ed, can't win for losing.

DO IT! It doesn't dissapoint. As far as I'm concerned there are nicer FC's and FB's there than there are a 7Stock. And the event itself is far better than 7Stock.
