Another thing:
"Nope. Micheal Andretti was the first driver to test the HANS device. Check 7thGear News Tidbits section for a pic."
-Really? And if 7G says he is the first person to use it, they are way wrong. Such devices have been in use for years. I can distinctly remember a local touring car teams having its drivers wear such devices in 1995, after they lost a driver in an accident. Also , shock horror to you Mapguy, drivers in the IRL have also been using them for years as well. Remeber when Cheever won the 500 (1998), he had to pull apart all of the straps which kept his helmet tied to his suit, as Gary Gerould was trying to interview him? No you probably wont, because it was an IRL race...there there...
