Racing Seats
Has anyone heard anything about upcoming changes to racing seats regarding back support rrequirements. I know that Super Miata is requiring the HALO effective January 2019. What is the rule regarding back supports for racing suits as of now? Any info is appreciated.

I do remember reading a proposal that all seats would require a back brace.
Seems there was some discussion as many fiberglass/carbon seats are not designed for a brace or having holes drilled between your shoulders.
At least one seat manufacturer came out with a solid recommendation against it, as it would be stress beyond design tolerances.
My 2C is contact your race organization area tech guy and see what's in the wind.
