Re: An Open Letter to Skip Barber Regarding HANS devices - Please Vote & Give Feedback

If the mounting points are not changed for HANS devices their effectiveness is greatly reduced FOR ALL DRIVERS (per HANS handbook). The mounting point should be no more than 1" below the shoulder blade.

Secondly, the rollbars need to modified to stop them "digging in." Too many drivers have come close to getting hurt bad because the roll bar is driven into the gravel or the grass. A simple, cheap, and effective modification would be to "cap" the rollbar in fiberglass.

Thirdly, ALL drivers who cause someone else, or themselves, to flip should be given race bans. Flipping is tolerated far too much in the race series.
