neck collar

[FED 387]

the only places I see a skirt or sock required here is for FRONT ENGINE or Supercharged or turbocharged vehicles or in some instances Nitrous cars---be damned if I can find where in the 2012 rule book OR 2012 amendments that with a HANS you MUST use a sock or skirt---please enlighten me where does it say that--I looked thru the rule book for over an hour and I do not see that anywhere---not talking about any Alcohol or Nitro classes either--thanx Comp

I just received an email from NHRA tech, Pat Cvengros, You do not need the neck collar BUT you will need the head sock or skirted helmet.
Here is the email content.

If I decide to use a HANS type device, (not a class requirement) while racing in SG and/or SC.

1. Do I still have to use a neck collar?

2. If no neck collar, do I have to use a head sock or shirted helmet?

Thanks,
Dan Foley




No you would not be required to use a neck collar if you used a head and neck restraint system. You would however need a head sock or skirted helmet.

You're right finally found it it is under the PROTECTIVE CLOTHING section not in the helmet or neck collar restraint area---

I wear a HANS with a helmet skirt.
