[F500] Poured Seat Upholstery

[Eric D Christensen]

I've discussed this with several tech people over the years.

Basically, as far as SCCA is concerned, anything goes for seat coverings,
upholstery, etc. Doesn't need to be non-flammable. 

Personally, I used an old tee-shirt for years to cover my seat. Works like a
charm, and it's washable too! Not particularly stylish though....
