I plan on keeping stock seats/belts for now but I want some on track safety for my neck.
How about this sucker

I dont think anyone uses neck supports with 3 point belts...

I like the Valhalla - the pricing is significantly lower than a HANS branded device

If you are going to use stock belts then go with this unit from Simpson:
http://www.saferacer.com/simpson-hyb...productid=2296

It is SFI rated and those others aren't rated. They don't even look safe. If you watch a crash test video of a dummy with a HANS device you see how it and the one above work. They keep your head on top of your neck by restraining the forward and upward movement of your head. They can also restrain side movement. From what I can see neither of the two you were looking at can do that.

Thanks that looks better and it looks as if I could use it with a harness if i ever go that route.
