Mark Stiles, HANS Performance Products' CEO, commented, "IHRA has been very responsible in mandating head and neck restraints in Pro classes for 2007. By far, HANS Devices lead the industry in performance, and this program gives us a direct way of supporting the foremost IHRA competitors as they respond to the need for increased safety measures."
