Head And Neck Restraints

[BKSG1198]

I watched Tom Giordano crash at Atco on the starting line in 2010?? and pass away weeks later in the hospital. I spoke to one of the medical personal after the event and they told me a H&N restraint would have probably saved him because it was H&N injuries with how he hit the wall. I went to Jeff shortly after and ordered one & still the one I still own, the original one definitely had restrictions on moving left to right but, giving feedback to Jeff through the years he has worked with Simpson to make them more easy to put on, snap together and make it easy to still move your head side to side. I know there is a lot of old school mentality but, when you think about it.....what does a neck collar really do besides protect your neck from fire, yes you do have to wear a sock with no collar but, my new helmet I had Jeff put the skirt in and I love it.

Keith, there are two words that explain why it's mandatory and not recommended. LINDA LOUIE ! Vice President and General Counsel of NHRA. She is also the reason why anyone with a Trump saying on their car a few years ago, was told to remove them, or you will not be allowed to make any passes down the track. Thanks to Bo Butner and Eric Trump for standing up to her and getting approval of at least a small area on each car to have this. I'll bet if anyone had biden on their car, no fuss would have been made about that! By the way, has anyone else noticed that NHRA has 9 Vice-Presidents, besides the Chief Executive Officer, and the President. But they can't afford to hire enough tech people at the events? Look at your latest issue of National Dragster, you'll see all these Vice-Presidents and Senior Directors of; Finance, Production, Sales, Toilet Paper, Paper Clips, etc... 90% of these administrators have never driven a car in competition at an NHRA event. And we wonder why they are losing touch with the sportsman racers. Geez, I really don't know why!
