***So, given all the safety issues involved in racing today, if you could have your own crash test, what would it be?***
Lateral test each H & N restraint system at 100G with a normal race seat, no lateral head support built in seat, no side nets or other H&N lateral support systems. :birra: :birra: :birra:
I would believe these videos would make one hell of a tool to re-kick your sales effort showing what some H & N restraints do not do. I would believe the videos would also kick off a real thought process for the SCCA CRB & BoD.
I was at the Farm this weekend for a National race & put a HANS on just to see. My first comment to the owner was that the HANS offers minimal lateral support as compared to the Isaac. The owners words, thoughts were a shrug of the shoulders. The owner is a pretty bright young man with many accomplishments in WKA Karting, SCCA Pro Spec Miata & SCCA FC. Monkey see, monkey do. I really don't believe many people who purchase H & N restraint research the details. They buy because the HANS is IRL, Champ car, NASCAR, F1 mandatory.
As a marketing consultant my fee is quite reasonable. One Isaac to go please & it will match my cap.

I would love to see lateral side tests - both with and without HANS/R3/Issac. When I was shopping, I looked around for some concrete data for all of the systems. There's just not a lot of good non-marketing type data there. This could be a chance to get some 3rd party data that wouldn't be given out with whatever spin the advertisers want it.
