It just depends on the one you use. The HANS is only designed for straight collisions (Nascar) while some of the others are designed for the types of wrecks in open wheel racing. A couple of the other head and neck restraint systems use multiple tethers that are supposed to futher support your head in a wreck.

I understand that (I see the way I worded it though...I mentally included the side supports on the seat as to what I meant for a restraint of some sort)...in regards to those side supports on the seats, I was under the impression that was to keep the head from goin side to side (keeping from breakings necks, while obvsly keeping the head contained inside the cockpit at the same time). So ya, combined with the HANS, from the forward collisions, I thought they all worked together...

But I bet you had cockpit adjustable shocks and a new tire!

Close your eyes and dream of a podium with 43 drivers hugging and saying we are all equal winners.Then you wake up and realize your at a Nascar race.See the direction this is going?

This thread makes me think that the open wheel racing that we love will implode before long. Maybe not in my lifetime, but I see no need to get my grandkids hooked on it. I have raced. It's dangerous. Shouldn't that element always exist?

It would be better if it didn't. Who needs more dead or paralyzed drivers?
