I'm currently running a Kirkey Deluxe road race seat w/ a seat back brace and a right side Simpson net. I was also using an Isaac head and neck.

Currently moving to a HANS due to PCA's change in rules about H&N requirements. So I'm also considering adding the containment pieces Kirkey is offering. They currently show two different setups. Anyone use either one? Any feed back? Thanks in advance.

I have a Butlerbuilt seat that is similar the Kirkey. I used a system that is similar to the 987 model with an Issac system, but when I bought mine years ago, that was about all that available. No complaints on visiblity or movement. I think either one will work.

I have an older version on my Kirkey - looks flimsier than these. NASA allowed it at the time, but I was never too sure of it.

Kirkey responded to my question and stated the Tube Head & Shoulder Restraint Kit was a bit stronger and most prefer it for better visibility
