Tell me what you think of them. I sat in them at OG Racing and they felt fine. Who are they meant for? Will I be laughed at if I took them to the strip and the occasional autox?

wow, I hope not, those same people would certianly laugh at me too! Look like nice seats to me, I somehow didn't see them in my search. :?
pretty standard fare tube frame seat. If it fits you and your budget, then its a good seat to pick up. A couple things to keep in mind however, is that a tube frame seat is not as safe as a fiberglass seat, and is usually not as comfortable.
Can you go into detail on the safety Evan? Comfort doesn't bother me as I'll probably only bolt them in on track days.

a fiberglass seat is made to flex to spread the forces of an impact over a distance and time. (ie "absorb" some of the force), instead of transferring it directly to the driver like an aluminum or tube frame seat does.
Overall I dont think its a huge deal, your primary crush zones will always be the outside of the car anyway, I used a tube frame forza for a few months, and its my passenger seat now. To me, the comfort of the fiberglass seat was the biggest improvement.
saw one of those "speeds" this weekend, you must be a stick! I would never fit on one of those :lol:
Well to be honest...I'm getting pretty fat. I don't know how much longer I'll be able to fit into any racing seat unless I stop hitting the mcdonalds.

IIRC, the Speeds don't have a hole for a sub-belt.
When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.
