New Seat Ready: After more than a year of development, a composite seat that provides a cocoon for the driver is ready for use in NASCAR’s 2002 season. The seat, created by PPI Motorsports and Reynard Motorsports of England, was submitted to NASCAR this fall. It has yet to be approved, but is expected to receive the go-ahead in time for use during Speedweeks in February. Once approved the seat will be manufactured by Reynard and distributed, certified and serviced by C&R Racing in Indianapolis. The seat’s cost hasn’t been determined.(Winston Cup Scene – need sub to read)(11-29-2001)
