NASA Southeast has scheduled an 8 hour endurance race at Road Atlanta on December 5, 2008.

If you want another longer enduro on the east coast, be sure to enter.

Why oh why can't it be SCCA instead of NASA SE. bummer.

Hopefully Butch's long race idea pans out next year, rather than getting messed up by the track being closed.

Does NASA require a HANS now or was the semi-permanently delayed?

[Cobrar05]

A h and n restraint is required. It does not have to be a HANS however.

Any idea if it is required to be SFI approved? I've got an Isaac device that I've used for several years...

Thanks!

Yes, SFI rating is required. I use a Hybrid from Safety Solutions.

I'm out. I keep forgetting NASA requires that and it stops me from racing NASA events. Too bad.

We all seem to have our issues. SCCA won't let me race my Mustang in enduro competition outside of Road Atlanta.

I have no issue with the H&N restraint requirements. I have a halo racetech seat in my car based on NASA regulations and the H&N based on regulations. I didn't want to have to spend that money, but once it was spent I will admit to feeling much safer.

Its safety gear you should have. But thats just my opinion. When I race SCCA races I wear my H&N.
