I didn't argue with them, I went and bought a new seat. In any other org. I could run my 5.5 year old FIA seat without a seat back brace. You should not drill holes in a seat not designed for it! ( Nathan has a brace i would use) There are many people that agree with me!

Agree with NASAs ruling or drilling holes?

I am for the age requirement. Agree on no holes for those seats.

If FIA has found no reason to put an expiration on them, then I'm fine with it. They do way more testing on this stuff than any other. This whole seat back brace thing came about because of the POS seats that some people put in their car. It's an endless debate and I'm fine with doing whatever race org I race with tells me to do.

I bet NASA has not 1 bit of documentation that has shown an FIA seat failing and causing injury. If so, I'd love to see it.
