SA 2015 RATED SNELL 2015 RACING HELMETS Snell SA rating is the most widely accepted standard for racing helmet safety in the world. The Snell standard is updated once every five years, generally improving helmet protection each time. Effective October 1, 2015, helmet manufacturers began selling Snell 2015 rated helmets, meeting Snell’s latest and most stringent safety standards. The helmets are clearly marked with the Snell 2015 safety label. AN OVERVIEW OF THE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SA2015 STANDARD VERSUS THE SA2010 STANDARD IS EXPLAINED HERE. SA2015 helmets are equipped with FIA 8858-2010 compliant M6 terminal mounts for head restraints. Head restraints such as the widely used HANS and Hybrid styles have been credited as being the number one lifesaving advance in personal racing safety equipment of the last 20 years. SA2015 includes provisions for Low Velocity impact testing. For the racer, this test ensures performance in low velocity crashes. A single helmet is tested in five separate sites on a flat anvil on or above the helmet’s test line. No impact may exceed 200G and the average of the five peaks must not exceed 180G. SA2015 includes Low Lateral impacts at the intersection of the head form reference and transverse planes. This is the key area around the ear and temple. The peak G criteria for helmets tested on head forms of less than 60 cm circumference (ISO A-J) has been raised to 300 G and the velocity of the first impact has been increased to 8.5 m/sec. Second impact velocities have been reduced. The peak G criterion for the ISO M head form remains at 264 G, but the first impact velocity has been increased to 8.0 m/sec. The second impact velocity has been reduced. SA2015 certification will require two more helmet samples than SA2010 demanded. One of these is for the FHR testing and the other for the additional impact tests. Generally racers wear what is required by their sanctioning bodies. Each sanctioning body establishes which standards it will accept and how old the rating can be. Be sure to keep up with your sanctioning body and local track requirements.

This subject was substituted by the author for a more traditional academic subject after a chance discussion with a speaker after a research class that was part of the Masters in Liberal Studies in American Culture program. It is in part a historical project, but it attempts to be a history that attempts to connect developments in the sport to broader themes in the study of American culture. This thesis focuses primarily on three institutions. Waterford Hills Road Racing is a club, founded in 1958 eight near Clarkston Michigan in the shadow of the capitol of the American automobile industry (The track is about two miles away from Chrysler’s headquarters). Waterford dates back almost to the beginning of the modem sport in the early nineteen fifties and in its history has reflected developments in the sport itself. Grattan Raceway in Belding Michigan is a family business.

  • On the Right Track How Safety Innovation Saved the Sport of NASCAR
    On the Right Track How Safety Innovation Saved the Sport of NASCAR A research paper by Doug Robbins 1 Doug Robbins English Composition II 23 February 2017 Robbins – Lumerit College Composition II – Assignment 2 Since NASCAR was officially incorporated on February 21, 1948, (History.com) drivers have competed on sand, dirt and eventually, asphalt and concrete. The motivation for them was to either win the race or finish as high as you can in the running order. The prize money was the “driving” factor that kept these racers coming to the track. The ability to make enough money, in order to provide food and pay bills, outweighed the driver’s concern for their own safety. Cars crashed and drivers were severely injured or died. That was the chance they were willing to accept every time they climbed into a race car. Still the racing continued to grow and more tracks were built. While technology improved as the years went by, drivers were still getting hurt or killed as a result of on track accidents. The sport experienced multiple tragedies during the first 14 months of the 21st Century. NASCAR went through a period of reflection and reacted. The actions they took, resulted in making racing more safer for the drivers of today, than at any time in its 70 year history. On May 12th, 2000, at the New Hampshire Speedway, a 19 year old budding NASCAR star would lose his life during an (Xfinity) race practice. Adam Petty, the grandson of NASCAR racing legend Richard Petty, crashed his race car into a concrete wall, reportedly at over 130mph, while entering turn three at the speedway.

  • Enhancing the Fabrication of Motorsports Gear in Sri
    02nd International Conference on Apparel Textiles and Fashion Design ENHANCING THE FABRICATION OF MOTORSPORTS GEAR IN SRI LANKA 1Kaumadha Wickramarchchci, 2Rivini Mataraarachchi. 1 [email protected] , 2 [email protected] ABSTRACT Motorsports has become a universal sport. Many researchers have discussed about the fitness levels of racecar drivers. But none has given an in depth guide into the problems that are faced by drivers in the perspective of Sri Lanka. Motorsports was introduced to Sri Lanka during 30s from that day onwards the interest among the people for this has increased significantly. The focus of this study is on Sri Lankan motorsport apparel. It discusses the problems faced by Sri Lankan racers to comply with international sport and safety standards when it comes to choosing racing gear, which is affordable as well as, comfortable. The study further explores the possibility of locally manufacturing racing gear to cater to an increasingly growing enthusiasm for motorsport in Sri Lanka. Through a review of literature, the report looks at various fabrics that are internationally developed for competitive racing to discern modern standards and trends. The empirical data is gathered through in-depth interviews with key informants from the local motorsport arena to analyze issues faced by them with regard to their safety and comfort when selecting racing gear. Solutions for enhancing the fabrication of the gear while minimizing the problems faced. Through a SWOT analysis the study finds that it would be possible to locally produce affordable motorsport gear within reasonable parameters.Keywords: Motorsports, safety, comfort, affordable, enhancing, fabrication.

  • NASCAR Safety Improvements Save Lives
    NASCAR SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS saVE LIVES NASCAR Safety Improvements Save Lives By Michael Hill, Underwriting Consultant, RGA Reinsurance Company, and Jason McKinley, Actuary, RGA Reinsurance Company Executive Summary NASCAR drivers have historically presented a high mortality risk, but recent data suggests that NASCAR mortality has improved over the last decade. With numerous safety advances over the past 10 years, there have been zero deaths in NASCAR’s three National Series (Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck). Since Dale Earnhardt’s death at Daytona in February 2001, NASCAR has taken a proactive and aggressive approach to safety, opening a new research and development center near Charlotte Motor Speedway in 2002.1 Since 2001, there have been many improvements in helmets, seatbelts, on-board fire extinguishers, cars, use of crash data, the introduction of “soft-wall” technology and, most importantly, head and neck restraints. The information herein provides some overview of the major safety changes since 2001 and some data analysis.
