[Fot] SVRA to require head and neck restraints

[JWoesvra at aol.com]

Henry,
 
With all respect due you, I'm sorry that your life is so worthless. Since  
you have not raced with SVRA, it really doesn't matter whether you agree with  
our policies anyway.
 
There were 3 known fatalities in vintage racing last year  that might have 
been sore necks if we had done this a year ago. You  don't have to race with us 
to understand that we are being proactive in this  case. We are willing to 
take a hit on entries to insure the folks that do  race with us are protected, 
when technology is available to do so.

I  don't currently wear a neck restraint in my racecar.  I'll buy new tires  
before the neck restraint.  I don't wear a helmet when I drive to work,  do 
you?  Probably should since most of my big wrecks have been on the  street.  If 
all the safety stuff Fuel cells, health exams, fire systems,  etc. had been 
required when I started vintage racing, I wouldn't  have.  When I started, 
leather work gloves were all that was required,  that's what I wore.  Adding neck 
restraints puts up one more barrier to  entry to someone starting out.  

Henry Morrison, from the  wild wild west, where I still see dual purpose cars 
racing without fuel cells  or  rollbars...........
