Re: In Loving Memory of Kenny Irwin When?

Thanks for writing, Marty. We are all so sick . Is there anything we can do? I cannot go through this anymore. I am about ready to give up doing newsletters and watching races. To have to hold your breathe every time theres a wreck , waiting , just waiting to see that window net go down, its too much. ESPECIALLY with everything else going on, you would think we could enjoy a sport. Instead of grieving all the time.

Hello Bob. Marty tyler, staff write, Catchfence.com here...there is geat technology available. I have had a chance to speak fairly regularly with Jason Schiers of Lew Composites who are the makers of the Humpy Bumper. This device is not some fly by night funny sounding device...the research, and it has been EXTENSIVE, shows the capabilities of saving lives. That in connection with improved seat configurations, a head and neck restraint system and a properly installed harness system can and would greatly improve the drivers chances of survival in this type of right frontal impact. Why hasn't it been approved? I can't answer that, however, I will say that the people at Lew's have spent countless hours, manpower and dedication to this project and they do not have the answer to that one either.
I spoke with Jason last night and will speak with him again this morning. I am devastated, as all race fans are. ARCA cars....in many cases ARE Winston Cup cars...purchased from the WC teams. ARCA allows 4 or 5 year old cars to compete in their division while NASCAR only allows 2 year old cars, so, those ARCA cars could greatly benefit from this device as would the CTS truacks, and the Busch cars.
I wish I had answers to ease your mind. I am at a loss, as well.
