Thoughts on the R-3 neck restraint system

[Mark Fox]

 For those of you using the R-3, how do you like it and with the variety of current models available, which one would you recommend?

Also are there any proposed rules of requiring a 5-6 point harness for DE? Thanks

I use the R-3, the original........ it works with a harness as well as a standard 3 point belt system. I do not know variants of this, but I would ass-u-me hock: that they are similar.

As far as the 5 or 6 point belts, you'd have to talk to the tech inspectors, but I know that harneses have an expiration date while factory belts don't. hock:hock: Factory belts MUST be better since they NEVER expire.:?:?:dude:

There's a lot of good information (and some bad) on Rennlist and some of the other forums.

NASA regulations are forcing me to buy a Hans for racing, so I don't have much choice in the matter.  I'm not so much worried about H&N for DE, but I think a roll bar and harnesses are the minimum of anything I want to drive.

I might drive a car with a 3-point at 4/10ths, but certainly not 7+/10ths.

 I am thinking about the R-3 for when I am in the right seat.

I know....several people have them for that reason.  I don't think I'll be buying 2 H&N systems though.
