Featuring: Joe Marko (joemarko) - http://www.hmsmotorsport.com
Date/Time: 2/15/2006 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM PST
Seminar Description:
JustRacing is proud to welcome national motorsports safety expert Joe Marko to JustRacing Seminars! Over the past 10 years Joe has spent a significant amount of time studying safety systems in motorsport applications - in particular harnessbelts, head and neck restraint systems, helmets, rollbars, and seats. He is the Schroth representative to SFI and works closely with the Technical Directors of NASCAR and IRL on harnessbelt specific issues. Joe and his crew also work directly with individual teams on the specification and installation of their harness installations. This season over half of the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup drivers and Champ car drivers are wearing Schroth Harnessbelts.
Joe has been involved with numerous Dynamic Sled bed tests of Schroth Harnessbelts and HANS Head and Neck restraints at Delphi Automotive both privately and in conjunction with NASCAR and IRL. He authored the 2005 SCCA ProRacing GCRs and the 2006 BMW CCA Club Racing GCRs for harnessbelts and head and neck restraints. HMS has also conducted independent helmet/airbag testing at Delphi to address the questions of open vs. full-face helmets in cars with airbags.
He is currently one of six people that make up the SCCA National Safety Committee which advises the competition board on needed changes. In addition, Joe is the current National Safety Steward for BMW CCA Club Racing.
He has run seminars for SCCA (Pro and Club) on proper use and installation of harnessbelts, seats, and HANS and is a regular presenter to PCA, BMW CCA, and Quattro Club chapters around the country on topics of safety in racing and drivers schools.
A member of SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers), he holds a Bachelors degree from Siena College and a Masters Degree from Cornell University. He is Co-Chair of Boston Chapter BMW CCA Drivers Schools and a frequent instructor with BMW CCA, PCA, and Ferrari Club.
Joe is the owner of HMS Motorsport, Ltd., the US importer of Schroth Racing Restraints and RIMO karts. HMS Motorsport is the "Official Safety Equipment Supplier to BMW Club Racing" and an annual sponsor of numerous driving events put on by local BMW CCA regions.
