NASA Hans Requirement - UPDATE

As most NASA members have known, a deadline of June 2nd was set for the requirement of all NASA club members to use a SFI 38.1 or FIA 8858 Head and Neck Restraint (ie. HANS Device).

Late last month, we contacted NASA officials regarding a shortage of HANS Devices from the manufacturer (namely, the new HANS Sport model in the Large size). With this information in hand, NASA made the decision to postpone the deadline by 1 month so that the requirement date would not be until July 2, 2008. This would allow time for HANS to ship the back-ordered devices and makes sure all club racers would have time to obtain suitable head and neck restraint devices.
