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.

If you get hit by a 8 second Stocker, you have other problems to worry about.
You might feels a bit safer with all the that sheet metal that surrounds you on your Olds!!!

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.
