This weekend was another big Watkins Glen crashfest with some really big hits - and luckily no one was hurt. Sore, yes, but no injuries.
Thats just super good news about the testers now wearing HANS devices.

Tim Hoagland reports from the Glen on his two major offs on consecutive days, straight into barriers, at the same corner.

"...Two big accidents (entry speed was 90 plus in one and 100 in the other ) were a bit much to take. HANS though, did a GREAT job. NO headache or neck pain. I'm very very lucky. This I do know".

Yes, as Tim only recently purchased his HANS device with no intention of testing it (twice) so soon.
