Anyone remember this thing?

Oh yeah. Quite impressive car for its time.

RIP Mr. Lingenfelter.

Anyone notice the optional square hole in the seat cushion?

That's so that if you chose not to wear the adult diapers, you just insert a little plastic baggie in the hole and it collects the refuse you generate while trying to drive the thing at 250mph.

All joking aside, isn’t that for the between the legs harness attachment? Just like and infants car seat.

Thats correct. For a 5 point harness.

And that harness is so your ball sack doesn't fly up and whack you in the face at 255. Dual purpose hole. Without the prison bars! 🙂

I was a young teen in the late 80s just getting interested in 4 wheel high speed transportation. I found a thick rag at the local grocery store that featured the Sledgehammer. Of the millions times I read that mag the story stayed the same.

That harness hole doesn't leave much room for the massive sack required to drive a vehicular up to 250mph.

That's why you have the harness go through it. To strap across the massive sack.

Seems like a 5 point would just split the middle? 🤔
