Sorry Jim, I can't remember the exact article chapter and verse (it was to do with a one-make championship, I remember that much and there was a 10/10ths thread to do with belts and cages too) but it was the degree of inclination vs horizontal load on your neck and also how HANS reacts to side impacts in saloon cars which are more common in BIG accidents in saloon cars and there is more movement then in a tighter single-seater.
Just my opinion but I think there should be more publicity/marketing of the HANS devise if it is good for saloon cars (especially Historic) and I think it's still very expensive but I think it is coming down in price.
As we all know motor racing is dangerous and you have to decide for yourself the cost you place on your safety/health and if I could I'd try and be as safe as possible.
