SHIRLEY, YOU GEST!! Not trying to be sarcastic either. A man who invents the HANS device and has a HATERED for KOALA BEARS???? Tsk, tsk, tsk. Oh, the dreaded and terrible Koala bears, doesn't make sense to me. 'ECCENTRICITY' is the word if this is really on the mark. I'm not calling you any names, but it just doesn't jive.
Years ago when I was racing on Thursday night Thunder and working at MSU when not at IRP, a professor who was a large part of developing the HANS device, got in touch with me and asked me to try it. Being the MUCHO MAN that I thought I was, I declined, a few years later I saw Bruce Field wearing one somewhere at a race. It sure has come to be a life saving divice.
Anyway, 'THANKS' for the story on the HANS, the picture is also pretty neat.
