Video: How to Make a Custom Fit Race Seat

https://www.youtube.com/embed/FAhgppChj78

Fitting properly in a race seat is not only a matter of comfort, but it can also be a safety concern. Many race seats, like the Kirkey Racing Fabrication seat in our project Z06, are built with generic sizing in mind. One of the best ways to ensure proper fitment with one of these seats is to mold a custom insert made of foam. Presented by CRC Industries.

I made a poor sock choice.

If you want the support or foam to get under your butt or legs do you need to pour some in before you sit down? It looked like none made it past your butt.

On the subject of safety... is the new foam FR treated?  Do you fireblock it afterward?

I was thinking there can't be that bad of a sock.  Then I watched the video.

The kit is "approved" which probably means it's way better than boat foam. We also covered it with fireproof fabric.
