CCS has had a number of injuries to racers getting hit after going down.

A buddy of ours had a minor low-side result in a hospital stay and punctured lungs because of it.

Henry DeGouw, the promoter for the Florida series has been actively persuading racers to consider running a chest protector in addition to back protector.

A very good idea indeed.
