Joe, Bryan, List,
I sure can't argue with you guys about becoming 'one' with the car, but
can't help but wonder about the order of priorities: how about head, hips,
shoulders, chest... and I think (with all due respect) that belts help least
with #1. Hence the Simpson HNRS or HANS or similar...
We are planning on a 7 point Crow harness, but have no HNR system planned as
yet (ideas?). I'm sure glad Bernie is driving!
Knees & Feet will either heal or are likely non-life-threatening (which
means: they damn sure matter; just not as much)!

P.s. Joe, thanks for the spot-on fire system...

My thoughts are the need for a seat that holds you ...not more belts. At
PRI, I spoke to Randy Lejore ( misspelled I'm sure), Butler and Kirky
about seats. All three said the same thing...you MUST control your hips,
chest, shoulders and head!!! Next is to protect your knees and feet.
When I crashed the Chevette at Maxton, my only injury was my left elbow
from banging the funny car style left helmet bar.
My two cents,
joe
