Recently, I ran into a situation that I had not seen coming and is so easily prevented...your track officials need to be very familiar with head/neck restraints. One of the drivers in this race was delayed moving out for the start as he somehow had not been able to get his restraints applied. No one around him felt comfortable helping as they were not familiar with it and knew getting it done was very important.
Take a few minutes at your next officials meeting and show your officials how to operate the fasteners and QD (quick disconnect) releases. Just being given the chance to get it in their hands and work with it for a minute will make all the difference in the world!
Look for things not to take for granted...and pay attention when issues arise.
At the end of the day, everyone goes home standing up!
