Right-Side Nets - Why do you need one?

Driver nets provide an essential part of the safety system in angular impacts. The idea is to provide a confined area for the driver to move around in, while limiting the amount of movement that you can have in an angular impact.   In an impact, the body moves forward 6-8 inches. This is normal and quite necessary because to prevent injury, the harnesses stretch to decelerate the body. If you are in an offset impact (an impact that is not straight on), there are high lateral forces that will move you side to side. If you do not have a Right Side Net, it is very easy for the body to wrap around the side of the seat when the harnesses have stretched.  A Right Side Net prevents this by guiding your head and shoulders back into the seat and headrest keeping you from serious injury.  

The Right Side Net is a mandatory piece of safety equipment in our rule book.  Even if you use a head & neck restraint and head-wrap seat, we highly recommend using a right side net as well.  Watch the video link below and checkout how the impact does not seem severe, yet the in-car video shows the severity of the impact.  The head-wrap portion of the seat flares out - think about what happens to the head and shoulders when the body moves around a second or third time.

Various right side nets are available depending on your vehicle.  We've compiled a simple size chart for reference and general installation instructions that can be adapted to most vehicles on the track.
