What Happens Next?

IRL mandated the wheel tethers first, CART did the HANS first.

It looks like CART and the IRL mandated wheel tethers at about the same time, although it appears from this article that the IRL announcement was a week after CARTs. F1 had already been using them for a year.

I believe that is correct, but didn't the IRL use the other device (the name escapes me) at that time and then latter drop it for the HANS?

An article I found had GM as one of the driving forces behind the HAN's device and they continued development in the IRL when they switched over from CART.

It appears from the story you're right. I knew it was very close. The CART incident at Michigan and the IRL incident at Charlotte caused both to adopt the F1 procedure. Gary, you're right about there being another one. All I can remember is that it, also, started with an "H" -- something like Hinchman. Different drivers favored each before the sanctioning bodies came to the conclusion that the HANS device was better.

IC, I think you guys are referring to the "Hutchins Device". Tony Stewart raised a bit of a stink about having to use restraints when they first came in, and when NASCAR compelled him to use one or the other, he chose Hutchins. I think he has since gone over to Hans which is now pretty much standard in
F1, IndyCar, and NASCAR, to name a few.

The "Hutchins Device", no I don't think so. I believe everyone has gone to the HANS instead.
