The new rule for Head and neck restraints for 2010

[doug odom]

When you tell us about how much you like or dislike your HANS, please include all the information. We need to know what type car, what type seat and lay back angle. Racecars with a Streamliner type lay down seat and racecars with a NASCAR type seat are far apart in what will work best.

Read post #10 regarding the article in National Dragster. May answer some questions. I found it interesting.

Glen, cant find it on line yet!!!!!!1

Sparky, you need to buy the ND paper, It's inside the back cover. I don't think they print it on line, I couldn't find it either.

The french dude came by our pit at SW and spent a lot of time fitting Celia. An observation I noticed was for a Hans to fit her correctly it had to be the 30 degree (which is the most lay back angle he had) because of her chest, and our seat has little lay back at all. I'm a big guy with a large chest and I would need the same. I don't see how a Hans would work for women or most men in an extreme lay down position in many LSR cars.

I tried to scan the short article but it was to dark to read. If you want some information e-mail Dr. Jeremy Torstveit
drtorstveit@cox.net
Or call his office 602-254-2625 in Phoenix Az.

He will reply. I have talked to him in the past and will go out of his way to help.

I been doing some research and I think the Hutchins head and neck device would work the best. Hans is a great device for safety but has limitations for adjustments in a lay down type of cockpit.  I think the Hutchins can be adjusted to accommodate the lay down style cockpit. I am going to call Hutchins and find out more information.

It's looking more and more like I'm going to have to sell one of my kidneys to afford this sport.

 

[CGoodson]

Been doing some more research and HANS devices are not to expensive and HUTCHENS devices are more reasonable, but I think there is no price on being safe. Who wants to die in a race car. I want to be able to talk about my racing when I'm old, not have other people talk about what happened when I crashed and burn. Safety first!

When you get 80 to 90 and under OHHHbama dying in a race car or on my Harley don't sound too bad............JD
