Not to add fuel to which one is better, but I believe that NASCAR has approved the R3 for it's ARCA series for 2006, and is evaluating it for the faster cars for the following year. I read it on a web-site somewhere that pertained to H&N devices.

Is that Zen, or what?

Prolly not fair if the student is a 25 year old linebacker w. a bull neck, and the instructor is a 65 year old pencil neck geek. The student should be required to give his HANS to the instructor.

Ya know Robert, you're on to something.
Suppose the student starts with no safety equipment whatsoever, then, whenever he listens to his instructor, or does what he is told, he gets a piece of equipment.
I think that would cut down on all these DE accidents we've been seeing.

Somewhere out in the darkness tonight, a PI attorney is laughing his *** off, because he finally knows how he's going to pay for that beach house in Malibu.

At the front here are your instructors for the day. As you can see, they are all equipped with the finest safety equipment - firesuits, helmets, HANS, gloves, etc. They will be strapped into the passenger seat of your car with 6 point restraints and a fire bottle at the ready.
As students, it is important that there are no distractions so you will drive in street clothes. Also, we find that seat belts can divert your attention. So, until you have driven a couple of sessions without crashing, no belts. After that, you can feel free to buckle up. If you can complete another 2 sessions, as certified by your instructor, then you will be issued and open faced helmet. 2 more sessions and you get a real helmet.
At the end of the two days of this school, those who are still alive (and we at the Sunday Driver school are proud of the fact that almost 50% of our students live) you will recieve a lovely embossed certificate. This certificate allows you to go anywhere you want on the Internet and act like a real driver cuz what-the-heck, no one will know any better.

Ooooo, can I get a cage welded around the passenger seat as well?
After learning more about the injuries sustained (by the drover) in the YADEA thread, I think I'll need it.

New Restraint Approved by ARCA: Not NASCAR but...ARCA sent out a Bulletin that the R3 Head and Neck Restraint from LFT Tech (LFTTech.com) was approved for the 2005 Season giving the drivers a choice in their personal safety systems. The Hutchens Device will be legal through through the 2005 season. The R3 joins the HANS and Hutchens Device in the family of Head and Neck Restraints. Currently the R3 has been accepted in IHRA, NHRA, Hooters Pro Cup, SCCA, IMCA and USAC. NASCAR is currently reviewing the R3 for use in their top touring series. The R3 Head and Neck device was certified to the SFI 38.1 spec back in November at The Delphi Research Center.(2-1-2005)
