There is no "expiration date" on a 38.1 compliant HANS device like there is for helmets, belts, etc.

It is a good question for National though. In any accident, it is usually customary to retire the belts as "used". I would imagine in a hard enough hit, the tethers and possibly the side restraint net might need to be assessed as well. Just a thought.

After I used the tirewall at Mid-Ohio to stop the racecar, I sent mine to H&D, they recertified it for ~$35

I also replaced a 1 weekend old set of seat belts... I cut the hardware off and tossed everything in the trash.

Good insurance...

Now I just need to finish the repairs on the car... LOL!

Working on it, Working on it...

Putting the T5/A5 back in the car this week, the TKO600 is coming out for now. Its heavy and has too much driveline loss, I don't have enough engine for that thing yet!

New front body work is just about finished...
new driver door is done...
next is the driver rear quarter... Uhg, not sure where to start there... its ugly.

As soon as I get the quarter done the car is getting painted... (might be after Hallett)

I will be testing at H2R most of next week getting the SLA dialed in better!!
