How much is your head worth?

Yes. We decided that our heads are worth it. Well, not worth a Sparco, but worth a nice Bell 8)

it's worth nothing without the rest of my body, lol j/k

yeah i guess i'd pay that much, but i feel i don't use it as much as most of you guys. If i get on the track and auto-x more i'll invest in one.

I got a black Vega size M. PM for price. It is a motorcycle helmet, but should perform fine for an autox.

Argh! Couldn't bring myself to buy a pimpy new helmet, so I got these instead in Black/XL:

I probably won't be able to resist OG being less than a 1-minute drive from work and will end up buying 1 of everything they have...

Very nice... I wanted gloves/shoes too, but having maxed out the race apparel budget for one day, I just couldn't do it.

Yes. It's only a 3 hour drive :twisted:

Aggh, You got those gloves? I seriously was thinking of the RaceCat shoes but they don't have them in my color (blue) and my size (euro 45 or 46).

I'm thinking of a pair of sparco mechanics gloves cause I'm sick of cutting up my hands. I also just got a new tool set from craftsman because I broke/lost all my cheap ones.

:lol:
I think those are Spec MM gloves
I like them a lot better than the OMP gloves that I had. Way too much padding on the OMPs, couldnt feel the steering wheel.

btw, shoes make a huge difference in driving. You will wonder how you ever drove in sneakers!

How do Sambas compare? I've found them to be terrific shoes for driving, but have never driven with actual driving shoes before.

- KPWSerpiente - 07-04-2004

I rock Samba Top Salas, so yeah, how do they compare to motorsport specific shoes?

-T

- Mike - 07-04-2004

Sambas or something similar, like a Puma, are pretty much the best regular shoe you could have for driving, very common to see people rocking them.

Wrestling shoes are an even better alternative.

KPWSerpiente Wrote:I rock Samba Top Salas, so yeah, how do they compare to motorsport specific shoes?

They're better than sneakers or boots, but the thin soles on driving shoes are so much better.

I didnt believe it until I got some but its a huge difference especially for hard braking.

that's what i've heard from a lot of people at auto-x's and a few of the dad's i've talked to.

- Maengelito - 07-04-2004

i love my alpinestars f1-r's... its very comfortable and a great feel on the pedals. before, i was using a pair of vans, which i really like because they're really wide which made it easy to heel-toe.

good, I used indoor soccer shoes before I got my n0mex shoez.

- KPWSerpiente - 07-05-2004

I may have to, when no one is looking, try out one of my pairs of wrestling shoes. Hopefully I havn't gained a shoe size since highschool.

- Mike - 07-06-2004

What do you need driving shoes for?
