Many years ago I spent a day in a rental tube frame RR car that was equipped with a power adjustable seat in the driver's position. It went side to side a bit, as well as accomodating 6'3 and 5'4 drivers. I really need to find a seat that will do this, as I have a new (small!) young driver in my 3rd gen car now, and the seat moving sysem I have now just won't cut it. We do pit stops in the series I run, and we need to swap in and out in less than 60 seconds. Anybody have a lead on something like this? We are mandated to a head and neck restraint next season, so that's in the mix too.

The driver could continue adjusting the seat while they make it to track-in, and probably get things set well, so I don't think speed of the motor will be an issue. Additionally, you can get the belts tight and then pull the seat up some more to get them even tighter. That would be a good thing. Find a power seat adjuster out of a 3rd Gen Trans Am, there are a bunch of people parting them out at 3rd Gen.org all the time. You should be able to get a working one that way.

I've thought about getting one for our CP ride, as it would allow upward motion as well as front-to-back. The harness-tightening thing is really nice, I used to do it in our 95 Impala SS when we'd autocross it. Our manual OEM seat rack does a pretty nice job getting us nice and close to the controls too, though.
