CR Question: SM Body/Structure - Passenger Seat
#27415 from Charles Caikoski · Not recommended · Minutes (2019-12 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. The rule is adequate as written. The rule is there for multiple reasons and
allowing a competitor to get out of the vehicle in a hurry in the event of fire is one of those reasons.
Having the passenger side of the vehicle open (no seat) could help the competitor get out through the
passenger side of the car quicker if the driver's side is inoperable as well as limiting the number of things
that can burn/smoke inside the car.
