      Wrong Dan. You'll want Dan Warner - or Keith. I know that basically the idea is to keep your head inside the car in the event of a rollover. A funny car style cage is OK, and most if not all seat makers (Kirkey, etc) are offering seat kits to put a brace just outside the helmet and keep your head from moving around. Hopefully Dan or Keith will check in and give you the straight poop. I don't have my book yet, either, but it's on the way.

        If your fabrication skills warrant, make a helmet restraint
        (think side-to-side) out of heavy gauge sheet metal and
        1/2" square stock. That's what we're doing for May....
