Some Head and Neck Restraint info

Pat, not sure if you have to wear a sock or skirt in a door car, but the rule basically says that if you were required to wear a neck collar, and you dont (which with a HANS you dont) then you have to wear one or the other...I was kinda focused on the open car rule...talk to Ryck Campbell he can set you straight...

Lynn, when I was building my car (roadster) I was kinda thinking the same, and I have a tin interior I added , in addition to the body, in case the body got ripped off for some reason...Carbon fiber is probably a better way but at least I have something...

Sorry I didn't make myself clearer. If you have a head and neck restraint, you must have some sort of fire protection in the place of the neck collar, no matter what car.

While some people don't do it, the rule in the rule book is there and you must have some type of protection, head sock, skirt, or neck brace to be in compliance.

Hope this helps.
