"Hi, my name is Tommy and I am speaking for Expert Village. We are going to talk a little bit about seats. The seats are usually fiberglass, sometimes carbon fiber. Sometimes they come with padding on them, on the sides, sometimes they come with full padding. The very, one of the very important things about the seat is to make sure that you have enough side support and get a deep seat. One of the other things about the seat and probably the most important thing on the seats is the fit. They come in different sizes and you really need them to fit very tight. The g-forces that you get in a kart are tremendous and if you don't have your seat tight, you can go back and forth in the kart and bruise and break your ribs. This is actually an Intrepid seat, it's a very good brand. We have the Tilent seats, which are a little higher class brand. They, this is probably the best seat that you can buy in karting today. And then we have, like the fully carpeted seat, these seats actually give you little, a little bit more support, you know, because it's not fiberglass right in your back. The other thing about seats, is seat position when you mount it in the kart. You are the heaviest object in the kart so you need to make sure your seat position is correct. "
