Aluminum Seat 16in Oval Entry Level

The KIRKEY Aluminum Seat 16in Oval Entry Level (model 38160) is a purpose-built racing seat designed for drivers who demand a lightweight, cost-effective solution without sacrificing structural integrity. This aluminum frame seat combines the proven durability of KIRKEY's 38 Series with an accessible entry-level price point, making it an ideal choice for bracket racers, oval track competitors, and amateur motorsports enthusiasts building or upgrading their vehicles on a practical budget.

The 16-inch wide seating surface accommodates a range of driver builds while the 20-degree layback angle provides ergonomic support during extended driving sessions and high-lateral-force cornering events. The aluminum construction delivers a weight of 12.65 lbs, contributing to overall vehicle weight reduction—a critical factor in competitive racing where every pound impacts acceleration, braking, and fuel economy. The seat's compact footprint (17.25 x 16.25 x 39.25 inches) fits within tight cockpit spaces typical of competition vehicles. This model requires a snap-on cover, allowing buyers to customize upholstery to match vehicle interior or driver preference.

The 38160 is engineered for drivers competing in oval track racing, drag racing classes, and street-rod builds where lightweight seating enhances performance. Racers value KIRKEY seats for their standardized mounting patterns, proven crash-test history, and compatibility with most racing harness systems. The natural aluminum finish resists corrosion better than painted alternatives and allows future customization. Whether you're stepping into competitive motorsports or upgrading an existing build, the KIRKEY 38 Series Aluminum Seat offers verified performance at an entry-level investment.
