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.

racing without fuel cells or rollbars...........
