JD, I put an email in to my buddy at NASCAR, he does ALL the testing and collects the data for these devices. I'll let you know what he said. CR

Yes your head will extend further with Isaac, but when was the last time you broke your neck touching your chin on your chest ? After a presentation of the Isaac by Gregg Baker, you'll soon realize it's anything but scary. If your open minded enough take a look at the isaac site www.isaacdevice.com Not only did the Isaac outperform the Hans in both the Wayne State University and Delphi test, the difference in lateral was dramatic. Mr. Baker put it like this... "you can't push rope" that's what the tethers on the Hans equal. Before you think that I'm sold on the Isaac, I'm not. I'm just trying to research the head and neck restraint as thoroughly as I would a part for my car. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Reinhardt" To: Sent: Friday, December 08, 2006 5:47 PM Subject: Re: [F500] why you need a head and neck restraint! > I think the only system approved by NASCAR is still the HANS.
