I really have no issues with the mandate to wear a device. My issue is two fold. One, I have a device that is now deemed "unsafe" by an organization that is representing the manufacturers. Two, my choice is limited because of the small amount of knowledge I have of the whole thing seems to me to be a huge conflict of interest.
(And yes, I wrote several letters complaining about both issues)
I don't mind shelling out $500-$600 to increase my safety (to what ever degree you want to argue) while racing. I WISH my device was the biggest expense over a season........... In fact, I wish it was the biggest exepnse I have for one weekend!!!
So I kinda gotta call BS on the "expense" argument. Spread out over the life of the device it's a drop in the bucket. You can't complain about the H&N mandate expensing you out of racing.............
