Are Recaros padding that thin? I am trying to pick out some seats that hold me better, but not sure if i wanna seat that makes me numb on long rides.

I think you have a few options:
1)Start lifting lower body as much as you do upper = squats, lunges.
2)Buy a gel pad from the pharmacy
3)trailer the car
or my favorite
4)butt implants

i do legs quite a bit but no ass to show for it. my preference would be to find a featherlight open trailer and go that route.

What about a pillow rather than a towel? Should probably offer more padding.

I don't notice it when I'm driving at the track at all. Its when I'm stuck in traffic. There are different levels of recaros. Sportsters and things of that nature are a street seat and covered and padded like one, but also weigh more.

Dude...you have all sorts of issues related to your anatomy. First fire suits that fit weird and now this?

Yeah I guess so. Did I mention my hans is custom cuz my neck is too big?

My Recaro Pole Position hurts like a mother on long drives. I may need to look at some Sparcos.

Until then just get the botox injections a week before the track day. Groupon / Living Social has some good deals.

If you are absolutely sure you wont get a trailer i would suggest butt implants like the others already have.

My $.02.

Will I need custom pants and fire suit?

MilehighM3 · 08-14-2013, 11:07 PM

A guy I know once told me that there are temporary prosthetic devices available online that can help with that - why do you think Bigjae is so relaxed and carefree during his offs?
