David, I run an open ITS car. While I fully agree the Isaac should be allowed, jsut one point of clarification. The arm restraints attach to the cam lock -- basically they are pinned in by one of the belts. They release with a single twist of the camlock harness as well.

Jeff,

You're right. Don't know what I was thinking. Must have written that post before I had my full dose of caffeine. As mentioned in previous posts, though, there are still the radios, cool suits, helmet ventilation hoses, etc. that must be unhooked before the driver is extricated from the car, making the single point of detachment issue sound a little naive. The decision-makers should give the corner workers a little credit, too. I believe any corner worker who sees a driver wearing an Isaac will realize that the shocks must be detached from the helmet in order to get the driver out. If there is any doubt, demonstrate the procedure in a mandatory corner worker meeting prior to the start of the event. Require Isaac wearers to display an ISAAC sticker on the both doors to alert the corner workers, similar to the E sticker that locates the extinguisher/fire system. For that matter, require all drivers to display a sticker on every car listing all items which must be unhooked in order to get the driver out.

Another early morning, uncaffeinated rant.
