[QUOTE="Poke, post: 717866, member: 5865"] I have raced Ultra 4 and hit hills against bouncers for 3 years. 2 years in a PRP Podium suspension seat. 1 year in a PRP RZR seat in a u4 car. I've talked, sat in and researched ISP extensively. I've hit trees going 50 and come to a sudden stop. No injury, little soreness Bottomed out a lot of times. Rolled, flipped, and flopped a dozen maybe more. A lot of sudden stops at slower speeds and getting hit from behind by Miller(lol) I got hurt 1 once. herniated disc and ripped the disc above it in my neck. It was off the big jump at DTOR. Compression injury. 4-5 month recovery , pain not sleep crap etc.. A few things, comments, thoughts.... - My Dr, physical therapist, agree with ISP. That one time layer crush foam is the safest for a hit. [b]But when you ask them about comfort/ being in the seat for multiple hits or 8 hours... they change their tune and start talking about how getting uncomfortable and trying to concentrate is really dangerous.[/b] Their line of thinking was along the lines of a different safety factor. A driver needs to pay attention to being smooth and riding the edge of in control/out of control. Its hard enough to ride that line for hours when you are comfortable. Also a big hit where foam crushes early in the race would change the seat for the next few hours. - Cash Lecroy had to modify his ISP. The non stop hits of endurance racing had him smacking his head repeated and hard on the side supports. He was knocking himself out in an ISP. - If I was going to hill race the bouncers, I'd be in an ISP, no doubt. - My seat belts come loose. mostly the shoulder belts a few miles in. If my crew can get in the car on top of me and get my lap tight, it really doesn't loosen a noticeable amount. But WHEN I get out mid race, its really hard to put my belts back on in all my gear. - I would like to try a short race in a few different hard seats, like the PRP Alpha, or others, just to compare.
