Wierd that ISAAC is not on the list, since we know lots of people use one - including me.
It was and when I added the 2nd Hutchens, I screwed it up
Isaac - Isaac - Isaac - Isaac - Isaac - Isaac
Isaac - Isaac - Isaac - Isaac - Isaac - Isaac
Isaac - Isaac - Isaac - Isaac - Isaac - Isaac

Is that 10 characters yet?
I sent a request to the front office to add Isaac and he can also amend numbers. vB is pretty firndly like that if you have the admin privs
Isaac times however many characters need to be added since the word Isaac is too short
No option for none?
Isaac for me
Isaac !!!!!!!!!!
AGHHH!!!! SFI must be specing the Polls now!!!!
Isaac all the way!
.............none
I love my Isaac..........
Maybe the Webmaster can fix the #'s to reflect Isaac properly.........
Vb allows him to do that
Partially fixed. Isaac added, but I don't know to where to move the votes. If you voted for something other than Isaac, **PM** me with what you voted for and I'll move the vote. - GA
R3 because....
1) BMW club racing has required SFI spec'ed H&R for the past two seasons.
2) Of all the SFI H&N restraints it works even after belts stretch and get loose.
Do I think SFI is the end all of safety spec's for H&N? No. But if I want to run with BMW club, then SFI is required.

Does somebody actually have a Leatt?
I use a Wright device (category: other) until the dust settles on all the issues.
As per a PM, all but one of the LFT R3 votes were moved to Isaac. If there's more than one LFT user out there, please let me know. - GA
Hmm, a ten letter response for "H & N device." Can I have a ISAAC, Alec?
i voted "other" and some may claim that i have "none"
when my "horse collar" came out, it was supposed to be good for up to 50 g's or some other type of rating. it is rather stiff material compared to most and has a contoured fit around the shoulder.

Isaac for me :)
FYI, conversations about the Racing Safety Institute and a community-driven advisory body (of which our own Jake Gulick has been nominated Grand Poobah) have found a home at...

We wanted to try to localize conversation to avoid having to visit multiple sites and threads in order to keep up. If you care about the issues spinning around safety equipment in club racing right now, take a look and consider participating in the conversation.

How about a 2 sentence description on why ones choice was made.
I went Hans because it made for a common H&N amoungst the other people I co-drive enduros with. At the time, the Isaac was unclear how difficult it would be to do a driver change.
Matt
I chose the Isaac because the test data was excellent and because we could use the same device for multiple enduro drivers, with just the addition of helmet lugs, rather than everyone having to spend that same amount of dough.

Do we get one vote for every one we have?
Why would that matter, Gregg, I am sure you are perpetually sold out....riiggghht?? ;)
Hans plus some more leters
I plan on buying a HANS device sometime this year for Jude. That way he can share it with his sister when she rally's.
Odd you should mention that--we're having to order more components already.Quote:

Two sentences?!? :eek:Quote:

OK, so my answer WAS 2 sentences - the following qualification and explanation sentences don't count. :p
PLEASE don't take my old fart attitude as an indictment of HNRs. I suspect they'll benefit us all in the long run if for no other reason than delaying the day that insurance for real racing/rallying prices most of us out of the sport(s). Since Rally America now requires 38.1 devices I will have one before I rally again and if my return to road racing comes after that I'll certainly wear it on track, but until I start taking trees between the headlights I'd rather my self-reliant egress from a wadded up rally car NOT be encumbered by HNRs or - worse - helmet nets. Imagine needing to undo one (or two) HNR tethers and a couple helmet nets to get out of the car in this vid - http://www.sumo.tv/watch.php?video=3045165! Alone in a wrecked/flipped race car during daylight when helping hands are just seconds away (THANK YOU CORNER WORKERS!!!) is one thing - upside down about to inhale muddy water is a whole other animal ...
