If I had the money readily available I'd buy the HANS in a heartbeat, before a suit or a couple hours of track time. But that's not yet the case, and I'm anxiously awaiting the day it is.
Michael, I'm not sure on your family situation, but I'm sure they realize that, whether they wan't you to or not, you're going to go racing. My guess is they don't 'support' your racing because they feel that it is too dangerous. If that be the case, all you should need to do is ask them to buy this important pice of safety gear..... Maby it can be an early or late birthday present. If they don't think you need it, just show them the research.
