Default FX1 or Monaco at RA this weekend

I am trying to narrow down my search for seats, and I was hoping I could try one of these out at Road Atlanta this weekend if anybody uses them. I will only be there for about 15 minutes on Sunday morning picking up some wheels, and then I have to be at work.

Cool that is actually the one I was leaning towards, but I wanted to make sure it fits. I will be there around 8:30-9am on Sunday, so I will look for your car. Thanks.

Thanks. I have been reading a lot about those and they seem like a good option. Do you have the Intermediate Road Race seat?

FIA certified? Is that Kirkey comfortable? The padding doesn't look very thick.

It is not FIA certified though they do offer one that is. The seat is extremely comfortable to me. I actually prefer it to my cushy OEM seat.

I saw your cars, but once I got done looking at Steve's car TT had started. I actually got to sit in both seats while I was there, and I like the Kirkey a lot. It was almost a perfect fit and was actually pretty comfortable. I am probably going to order one of those for me and the FX1 for the passenger seat.
