Sparco Circuit Plus Seat

Our last big seat shipment brought a surprise of sorts - the long overdue Sparco Circuit Plus Seat. We first were told about this seat about 2 years ago...I think most of us had pretty much given up on its existence. But 3 of them suddenly appeared last week!



What's the difference between this and the Sparco Circuit seat that's been around for years? Size. This seat is both taller and wider. Although I haven't taken actual measurements yet, to try and create some perspective, this seat is slightly too big and tall for my 5'10", 160 lb., 32 waist frame. But it fits the famous Brian Hair's 6'3", 205 lb, 36" waist perfectly.

Kirkey's New Road Race Containment Seat!

We first caught wind of Kirkey's latest Road Race seat last summer when they sent us a prototype to play around with. Judging by Kirkey's perfectionist attitude towards designing, I figured we wouldn't actually see the seat for a while. However, I just got tracking info from Kirkey showing they are on the way!

Check it out:



Sorry for the poor photo - once it arrives (hopefully first thing next week) I'll get some better images made.

We're excited about this seat for a couple reasons. For starters, the seat has a much smaller profile then the first generation Full Containment seats. Better yet, the seat itself is only $540! (sans cover, of course)

I've hurriedly placed the seat on the site for ordering.

Sparco Pro ADV seats are here!

2009 has been a particularly popular year for seat upgrades, in particular, halo style seats that offer the side-impact protection that so many drivers are lacking. Until the Pro ADV seat was introduced by Sparco mid-2008, Sparco's halo-style seat offerings were limited to the Circuit Pro (too short) and the Circuit (too narrow). The Pro ADV was just right for a large percentage of the U.S. market.



Unfortunately, in typical Italian fashion, the U.S. pretty much ran out of Pro ADV seats sometime in February - you know, right when everyone was building there race cars. At least in black (no one in their right minds would dare put any other color in their cars, right?).

Now for the good news for all of the patient customer out there...the boat from Italy has finally landed!!! I usually don't declare such hopeful news until I'm physically caressing each and every seat; but I make exception in this case. We should be seeing a freight-box arrive early next week with the 20+ seats we've had on backorder since January. A good portion of these are already accounted for (again, thank you patient customers!) But if you've also been keeping an eye out, jump in soon before they disappear again for another half-year!

Order yours today!
