If anyone here has been considering a HANS device, this might be the incentive you need.

For those of you that have wanted a HANS but have steered clear of them because of price, here is your chance. Pricing on these is generally 865.00 regardless of where you go. And then some of them want to charge you to install the achors.

I have made contact with a licensed HANS dealer and he has agreed that he would work with us on the price if I got a few people on board w/ me. I HAVE to have one for the upcoming ORR season. I will have final pricing for 5 and 10 people tonight and can email it to any interested parties. This will include mounting of the anchors if you ship the helmet to him. Other wise you can do it on your own. It does come with instructions on how to do it.

I am hoping to get at least 10 people on board to drive the price down as far as possible. The more the merrier.

As it sits I have 4 definates and 3 "show me the pricing".

The dealer willing to do this understands that not all of us out there drive 200K prepped track only cars and don't have the budgets for HANS. But also knows that some of usout there with the "low budgets" need and want them. So he was willing to work something out, IF I could generate the interest.

If you are on board with this, please post here or PM me.

This is a serious safety item guys and it doesnt take much to bang yourself up. Think about it. I will be purchasing one REGARDLESS of how many take advantage of this deal. It would just make swallowing the price alot better with a few people on board.

The ONLY reason that it is here and not in another forum is so more people will have a chance to see it. Since this is a failry expensive safety item and none of our other sponsors carries the item its going to live here unless someone has a problem with it.

Dennis,

Steve is rather tall, that may be the issue. He's also in a fully caged stock car at times.

Yes, I should explain.

Full cage. Getting out the right side is a non-starter as there are bars over there and I have a right side net (restraint net -- not window net) too. Additionally, there are two window nets on the left size. Traditional outer rectangle net and an additional triangular window net. Its called a J.B. cage net. The picture is misleading. It follows the upper and rear most sides of the driver window. It extends about half-way along each of those sides.

It is recommended to have two nets on the left side and a restraint on the right side.

http://www.simpsonraceproducts.com/product...29&prod_id=4122

Why two on the left? The outer rectangle to keep things out and the inner net to keep your head in the car.

As far as egress, after releasing the outer left side net, the inner triangular net restricts my quick movement. I'll have to incorporate releasing that one too in my emergency egress practice.
