There is a limit to this. Somewhere on this board are pictures of some guy, ITB Volvo I think, who basically used extensions to place the driver near the center of the car and almost in the back seat for better weight distribution. I kid you not.
Yeah-and drove it from NJ to Atlanta towing a Coleman camper, but I digress.
It was a 4 door and if I wanted to I could pay tolls thru the rear window. At the time we weren't allowed to "adjust" the pedal position for driver "comfort" so that, and the fact that the up-axis of the steering column put the wheel in your field of vision, were limiting factors. I moved the accelerator pedal back 4" under the provision allowing modification of external carburettor(s) or FI linkeages. It had the long "majic wand" shifter which lent itself well to an 8 black"knob" that looked more like a sex toy. The seat was against the tunnel AND leaned towards the centerline which really was more comfy than one would suppose, especially in right turns! If you do the math, moving one 190lb turd back 12" in the middle of a 2400lb car doesn't change corner weights very much-but I think driving to the false grid looking out the rear window may have had a psychological effect on the technically challenged. Early on I started moving the seat a bit further foward before the start. Even then, sitting so much farther back in the car made the left fender an impediment to vision-the exit of the uphill at Limerock beacame an act of faith! And it was found legal by the national court after a NYR techie sent an RFA to the stewards at my second event where the stewards found it illegal but could not/would not specify the rule they made their decision by.

Or you could get stilts and arm extenders!
Seriously though, sounds like a cool car! Can't wait to see it out on track!
the rules are the rules...
