Safety Solutions Presentation to Racers

SCTA Competition Class rules for 2011 require that all cars and motorcycle streamliners shall have an engineered and tested SFI spec 38.1 type head and neck restraint system . Local Racer Clay Pitkin arranged for a hands on demonstration of one brand of these devices. Friday November 19 @ 7:00 PM Aaron Zentgraf of Safety Solutions spoke to about 40 USFRA racers.

Those who were in attendance Friday evening at Totems got quite a treat. Far from being a “Sales Presentation”, Aaron Zentgraf of Safety Solutions gave an in depth technical presentation on the subject of restraining a driver during a crash. His excellent slideshow presentation discussed in great detail, the physical forces encountered in Auto Racing collisions, and the specifics of how modern safety equipment works to keep those forces from causing injury. Our expectations were for a simple sales pitch for SFI 38.1 head and neck restraint devices. Instead we had a lively question and answer exchange that began with seats and seat belt systems, and the latest rollcage improvements from all forms of racing. Many in attendance later told me that this was the “Best” presentation on Safety Equipment choices and proper installation they had experienced. I have to agree, the information presented was really specific and based on years of empirical testing in Safety Solutions engineering test laboratory. Unfortunately, our session was cut short. Shortly after we had settled back in from a break, the dance band downstairs at Totems fired up and it became impossible to hear any discussion. The USFRA will work to get a second chance at getting Arron Zentgraf to again give his presentation. He is based in the heart of NASCAR world, Mooresville North Carolina, so it may take us a while to arrange for his return. But when we get him back again, we will schedule plenty of time and arrange for a venue where we won’t be interrupted. Watch the front page of www.saltflats.com for information. When you see him, give local USFRA Racer Clay Pitkin a pat on the back, he arranged this excellent informative session. To visit the Safety Solutions Web site, click on the add below
