This has been asked and answered. A HANS device is not very effective in a seat with as much padding as a stock seat has.

But since you are now allowed to use a racing seat,then I would expect you will be getting a Hans Device? For SAFETY?

If you have a Stocker capable of running in the 8's like a CobraJet, yes, I would consider one.

So would I.

But I would also get one if I was concerned about the safety of my Stock seat.I would want to cover SAFETY on all bases Doesn't matter how slow your car is.

And a big kudos to you NHRA for tackling the tough issue, like cylinder head rule book clarity.

Thanks for nothing.....

Just wait until NHRA figures out that plastic seats are made of polycrapylene and puts a 2 year replacement interval on them just like seat belts. lol.
