Re: An Open Letter to Skip Barber Regarding HANS devices - Please Vote & Give Feedback
As a new member of the Skippy fraternity I'd like to add my two cents please. I just completed my first race weekend at Watkins Glen and brought with me my new HANS device. Expensive yes. Worth it...I believe so. I owe it to my kids and grandson to be there for a long time. I can hug them with a broken arm or leg, not a broken neck.
I think all racers who attend Skip events should be required to have the HANS clips installed either in their helmets or the ones made available to them through the SB organization. If they need them installed I agree SB should for a fee be willing to provide a service to install them prior to the event. Additionally I'd like to think SB could purchase 12 of them and make them available for a fee to those who drive in their events. Someone once told me early on if you have a $12.00 head buy a $12.00 helmet. The HANS device in my opinion is equally applicable.
