No Mary Kay......

but just can't figure why the camera does that.....

pics were taken today in bright sunshine, but they just don't show the seats real color......

trust me, it's dark brown and light tan leather....

Bad camera stuff----

That may have been easier way to go when I replaced the seat in the track car..Talk about a major PITA I ended up getting the largest seat made by Sparco and it fits me great!

Okay, thanks. I am pretty slim but I remember sitting in Keiths car and thinking these seats are really snug.

Long story short - when I test fitted for the Recaro Pole positon, it was tight but a good tight.

I took 2007 off from driving.......didn't gain any weight but I got wider?

Drove the track car for the first time since September 2006 this past October.....really tight

So now I'm trying to slim down for 2008 (not to mention my new driving suit doesn't have a gut built into it).

I'm at least 235lbs even when at less than 10% body fat so slimming down wouldn't help me much. Buying a helmet was a tough find too. Sometimes it sucks being a "biggun"

I'm 6'0 - 260 here, so no sport seats for me.
