Head & Neck Restraint Rule

[Steve Grady]

The neck collar was for fire safety, Not for neck support. That is why you now have to run a head sock or helmet skirt with the head and neck restraint.

Correct

I've been using a HANS type device long enough to have to have it recertified. I bought mine after I watch a friend roll his SC car when the center broke in his rear wheel. After talking to him a few days later, he told me his neck wasn't even sore after the crash. I really like how it spreads the load of the seat belts across my shoulder area and not just where the belts ride.
When I first got it, it took a little extra time to get everything hooked up. Now it's easy-peasy. I remember when I made to switch to an open wheeled car, I thought the arm restraints were going to be too restrictive also. That is definitely not the case.

That was a great race, Gary! Keep making that pass and things will go well!
