[Fot] HANS Device

[RACER BUD]

If you are a new driver i recommend that you get the best and all of the 
safety stuff available...There's kind of a different mindset with those of 
us who have been doing this all of our lives...When I started in the 60's, I 
had all of the latest safety stuff....The more safety stuff you have..the 
more you can concentrate on your driving....this goes for car prep too...You 
do not want..in the back of your mind...a gnawing gremlin reminding you that 
you didn't fix something properly....remember..the cars are strained to 
their tensil limit..
