Racetech 119 Series Delivers on Performance and Safety

In the world of drag racing, safety and performance go hand in hand. At speeds exceeding 200 mph, drivers need a seat that offers total protection, a secure fit, and maximum focus. Meanwhile, car builders are looking for a cost-effective, easy-to-install solution that doesn’t compromise on quality. The Racetech 119 Series delivers on both.

What Racers Want:

When strapping into a race car, a driver’s biggest priority should be safety. A properly designed seat should offer full containment, keeping them locked in place while withstanding extreme forces. But comfort matters too—a seat that reduces fatigue allows drivers to maintain focus and control throughout every pass. The lightweight construction of the 119 Series helps reduce strain, while its superior design ensures maximum support.

What Car Builders Want:

For race car builders, the challenge is finding a seat that meets top-level safety standards while also being cost-effective and easy to install. Traditional bucket seats often require a custom seat pour, adding time and expense to the build. The Racetech 119 Series offers a one-piece, full-containment solution that eliminates the need for extra padding, making it simpler to fit into new builds or retrofits.

That’s why leading brands like Ford Performance, Cobra Jet and Dodge Drag Pak choose Racetech—it’s a high-performance solution that makes life easier for builders without cutting corners on safety.

As racing legend Tim McAmis puts it: “They have the best design in a seat that I know of for drag racing.”

The Racetech Performance Driven 119 Series gives you the edge you need.
