After reviewing crash test data I agree with the HANS requirement while running harnesses in a DE. The neck becomes the weakest link and Basil skull fracture is a significant risk. Standard 3pt belts allow for more torso movement in an impact putting less stress on the neck.

Husker: We spent the day with one of your own: PCA National DE Chair John Krycek, who shared my car at a PCA DE event here in SoCal. Good guy.

Yes he is. We are fortunate to have John as our region's Chief Driving Instructor.
