[200q20v] HANS

[JRHbach at aol.com]

I met Jim Downing (HANS' inventor) at PIR (Portland, OR) last year and asked 
him about HANS. He has used it for years-I recall Michael Schumacher using it 
for a while after Senna's death in '94. I have heard that F 1 will be using 
it for the upcoming season. I wouldn't mind having one for driver education 
events... perhaps one day there will be the opportunity to do group purchases 
and it will be common, not a piece of safety exotica. I haven't followed 
NASCAR closely, but I was deeply saddened by the death of Dale Earnhardt. If 
motorsport safety advances in the aftermath it will be small consolation.
