TR, didn't you retire? Doesn't that mean you can come out more often?

I am a few yers away from retirement but I would like to go guilt free to the track sometime.

PCA will have to have some loaner Hans and helmets then. While driving the students car is always an option that requires the student being OK with it. And me. I'd much rather drive my car. Much. I don't want to be in an ugly position when the left front tire blows and I'm driving my student's $75,000 car. There's a reason I'm in spec class.

A couple loaner Hans solves this problem.

$75,000 student car nowadays is a shitbox.

Got harness? Get Hans. Keep yer head.

We always have an extra helmet/Hans combo if someone needs to borrow one

This has not been my experience! Course you did say "afford" and not actually buy

I bet many of the upper Blue drivers are at least considering HANS.

New folks may not be expecting it, and the idea of a few loaners is most welcome.
