[Fot] HANS Device

[WILLIAM TOBIN]

  Andre, good point. The HANS sport will run around $700 and like Lunker
said, probably no discount available. But that is cheap insurance.
  I considered one when I first started a couple years ago; bought one
mid-August last year after Uncle Jack's accident and used it at he Glen for
the first time. Feel more secure with it and the sliding tethers give you
some movement for bretter visibility.
  I'll camp out at the track to save some bucks, actually enjoy it, but
don't like to scrimp on safety items.
  By the way, get that car and join the fun!
  Stay warm, Bill----- Original Message -----
