not a direct answer to your question, but in the past on my first VL wayyyy back in 2004ish, i fitted an autotechnica reclining seat into my VL by using the existing rails, and i had to grind off the side bits that fit around the factory seat and then used 2x strips of steel which i bolted to the seat and then to the factory rails. That left me with the factory sliding as well.
I currently have VS Caprice seats in mine, the guy i bought them off welded the caprice rail or upper rails to VL lower . I believe the late model VL's had detachable rails from the seats that would be what you would want, but i doubt you will find a bolt in kit... prob need to get some metal and drill some holes
Edit : just re-read your question, and seems you might be after some more detail re. racing rules... sorry for jumping the gun, you prob know all of what i just said.

ive spoken to few blokes in the drag racing scene and that rails can slide back and fourth if car is running 10.00 any quicker and seat has to be fixed back
