Racing Goes Safer Brings the Heat to PRI: The Danger of Heat Stress. Friday, December 12th, 10AM-12PM. @Indiana Convention Center, Room 235.This year’s Stand 21 Safety Foundation seminar at the PRI Show will focus on the dangers of heat stress for drivers, and what can be done to avoid it. Overheating the body leads to degradation of performance, physical harm, and it is potentially fatal.
We will hear from two experts studying the problem. Dr. Terry Trammell has a long history working with IndyCar and the FIA on a wide range of safety issues. David Ferguson PhD at Michigan State University has instrumented drivers in endurance races and has evaluated different solutions.
Matteo Repetto from FIA Safety will talk about the role of the driver suit in protection in fires, and how it can also help to maintain driver body temperature.
Also on the agenda is Jon Winker, a wounded US Army veteran whose organization, Resilience Racing (https://www.resilienceracingfoundation.org/ )is helping other injured veterans to use racing activity for rehabilitating their bodies and spirits. He will explain modifications to the vehicles making it possible for amputees to race.
The seminar will be held Friday, December 12, 10AM – Noon, in Room 235 of the Indiana Convention Center. This event is free of charge and does not require PRI Show registration to attend.
