Good one, but all I can see coming for this is adding "regular full sized" to the 2 seats description in rule books.

When it says "full size", that's when my cardboard fold up seats will come out

Simple piece of cardboard that folds out into a seat, slap a kirkey cover on top of it, and there's no problem

Well then you're stereotyping...."regular" to a little person isn't the same as "regular" to the rest of the world., and don't get me started on "full-sized"....

Smokey Yunick did this in the 60's. My dad did this in the early 80's with his drag boat. Rules revision for the next race was "Seating for 2 full sized adults".

I like it thou.

A full sized adult can fit just fine on a banana seat, just bolt one of those suckers in.

That's a great idea Steve I'm still grinning from ear to ear!

I've seen a card board seat with a cover.
The guy asked me to flip a switch for him, then had a fit when I put my hand on the edge and screwed it up.
He raced in one of those outlaw stock class', where it had to look like a street car & run 7.90's.

I actually made a cardboard seat up today and weigh'ed it. 2 lbs of cardboard, and it's about the size of a 17 inch kirkey pro street

So, 4 lbs and you can have a "full size kirkey pro street" seat in the passenger's side, with the cover on

My father put a toilet in the passenger side of his Vega and bolted it in. He told the tech guy that you'd sh#t yourself in this car. Priceless.

LOL! I've seen a lawn chair for a passenger seat before. But I like this one much better. You need to strap a G.I. to that sucker!

I love this. I need to make one as a joke. There was a thread on here a while ago where a guy put two folding beach chairs in there and drove around with them.

LOL, a friend of my father was restoring a 66 nova about 8 years ago, they took it to a car show, 1 folding chair for a drivers seat, a milk crate for the passenger

People were like WTF, until they heard it start. Had a 434 small block motor in it, and all the running gear was done right... just hadn't gotten the interior done yet. But, it ran, and they took it to a car show one night anyway
