Thanks - I agree you are right on the money - I'm going to lower my head and
bolt a racing seat to the floor.  Larry P suggested this as well - even sent
me pics of his very nice setup.

NASA =National Auto Sports Association.
http://www.nasaproracing.com/aboutnasa/index.html  I just got back from a
NASA weekend at Carolina Motorsports Park with them.

CA group with a new chapter in VA, primarily taking advantage of the
absolutely marvelous newly reopened Virginia International Raceway (VIR),
and they sponsor events at Summit Point, Charlotte Motor Speedway and
Carolina MP, all within 4 hrs drive from me.  I'm just taking my daily
driver until I get the feel for the tracks, but I want to take the Tiger out
before end of summer...

The brakes on the Stealth faded repeatedly at CMP to the point I really had
to baby them much to my detriment, and they are much better brakes than on
my stock Tiger - am I nuts to think about taking the Tiger out on the track?
I've got silicon brake fluid, and the best pads from Rick, but am already a
little worried thinking about it.

Bear with me fellas - I'm new to this road track stuff.....

Chris,
        Is "NASA" a typo?  As for the roll bar, I had the same problem.
Try lowering your seat first.  On mine there are two mounting locations
at the front and a swinging bar spacer at the rear.  If that doesn't help
enough, try going to a fiberglass racing seat with little or no padding
and tilted back as much as you can stand.  i.e. do not raise your bar,
lower your head.
