Been on the diet all this year!!  I have photos from Seattle last weekend where I was wearing my original 20 yr old race suit - and still breathing. good job I dont know how to post photos.

I have been practicing car exit..... check your car and you will see an aluminium bar across the floor - thats to hook your heels into so you can push out in a hurry. 

One thing I notice as I get older - gravity is increasing as its more difficult to do somersaults out of the car. 

looking forward to the results of this exercise - should be interesting. Can anyone loan a Hans device for the test? I want to find out which one I need to buy?

Terrific response. We have a total of FIVE volunteers: James Dallimore, Roland Stec, The Dood, Campbell Carlyle and Jim Cadie.

Thank you all. That should give us a reasonable representation.

We'll be in touch on Saturday. Thanks, again.

My apologies. I usually don't screw up names that badly.

Many thanks to the competitors who volunteered for this test: Chris, Jim, James and Roland. I think we all found is useful and worthwhile.

I do know from conversations I've had with various folks that we WILL be doing more of this type of proactive stuff.

Thank you all.

Thanks for thinking of it Mike.  It got me thinking about a couple of other related items - like my fire system pull handle.  Its in the perfect place for me to activate whist strapped in but Ecrew would have to put their head into the cockpit to find it as its low on the left and under the cowl.  Who wants to do that in a fire situation?

Needs to be moved up and back for better outside access.

AND clearly marked , but ithink you will find that that this Ecrew would use their own cold fire supression system [ rather wet and sticky as apposed to all that dry chem everywhere ]

I much prefer the cold fire as opposed to the nasty dry chem.
   We are fortunate enough to have the best safety crews and turn workers already, but the best are always looking for ways to improve and being pro active in all aspects of safety confirms that.

A big Thanks to all our volunteer  workers.
