How can this be comfortable?

Is it just me? Check out this seat on this Rocket, it's from the Carpenter Racing's web site ( I think). See the ridge on the seat? How can it be comfy?

Might be similar to having a backrest, prevent you from rear wards sliding while under heavy acceleration?

It's a solution to excessive Lemon Pledge by Art. And let's face it - it it's the drag bike - It only has to be comfy for less than 14seconds.

Ah-ha! The penny has dropped. I didn't see the small bars... so you would be leaning forward and as Scop suggested, it would stop you sliding back the seat. I didn't know it was a drag bike... Got it, I'll get back in my box now. Lol.

That is the one they pulled 8.99 seconds on at the ATCO Drag strip.

That includes getting to the line, waiting for the green light and riding back to the paddock...
