So after I got my car over 120 at Cal Speedway, I started to think it was time for a Hans. Looking for suggestions on race seats that work well in a 914 and don't interfere with a Hans. Thanks.

I am not a racer and will probably never use a Hans device, but I have watched its developement over the years with some interest. I was always a Jim Downing fan when he was racing and building his own Kudzu prototypes. When he and his brother-in-law introduced the Hans device many years ago I sort of wondered if it would ever sell. I guess it was slow at first but now they are used in almost all forms of auto racing, and required by many sanctioning bodies. I think the old CART series may have been first to mandate their use. Latter F1 (with additional developement involving Mercedes) and NASCAR followed, with many drivers complaining that they could never drive with one. Now they are common place and drivers wear them willingly. What a change in attitude. What a great innovation and contribution to driver safety.
Okay, back to the topic! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |
