Head & Neck Restraint Rule

Can anyone assist in interpreting this rule. It states if your vehicle runs 150+, which mine does, off the stop. However on the stop I am 144ish, so do I need to wear one?

No. How would anyone know what it is otherwise capable of?

Nope, I would not! This is a pia!
If your not over 150 at an nhra race then it’s not needed

I wore one last year for the first time and was really surprised that I didn't notice anything different when in the car, really. The pre- and post-run routines definitely needed some tweaks.

I had a couple Necksgens sitting around from recent junior dragster graduates. I'm sure I would feel differently if I needed to buy all of it!

I've been wearing one since '08 both in my S/G car and my T/S car. Not a big deal at all. With the sliding tethers they all have now, you can turn your head. Those foam neck collars aren't going to do ***** for you in a wreck.
