My buddy races his 2013 Corvette Grand Sport monthly at Sebring with Chin Motorsports. He purchased a HANS device from the U.K.via eBay a couple of months back and has already run 2 events with it. It was $312 (free shipping) and delivered within a week.

I wish I would have seen this earlier.
My order has already dispatched.
Will report once it arrives.
Just fyi though....years ago we found a european site for adventure motorcycling gear that was way cheaper than what you would pay here and after a couple of us ordered they stopped shipping to u.s. And some items never arrived.
Not sure if thats relevant but wanted to throw that out there.

Well,
I guess the best assurance we can get is this:
- reports from past buyers from this shop
- paying with credit card or paypal so that we can file a claim/dispute in case something doesn't work out
On price guarantee - they give a price for 20 units + shipping cost per each. That's as much of a guarantee as we will get. They can ship all 20 in a big box and it will be slightly cheaper, but then we have to pay for local shipping (which will be no less than $16-20 due to size and based on destination at retail rates) but then we are much more likely to be hit with import duties as 20 units looks a lot more like business purchase than personal.
I'm in no rush to get HANS as I don't get to the track nearly often enough, but thought others could be interested. So far I don't see enough people saying they would be "In for the deal" to make this work, so maybe we don't have the numbers.

Technically it is not allowed, but I know none of the mods will complain, and I am doubtful the vendors who do sells Han's will either. I honestly don't think you will get enough people right now to do it. Along with organizing it, collecting money, and all that jazz.
