Another step in the racing direction
As mentioned in earlier posts, I've gone through the process of prepping my car for the track with the necessary safety equipment and started getting myself ready for the track with the purchase of a HANS device, full face helmet, flame-retardant underwear, socks, gloves, etc. I finally ordered a race suit.
I called Simpson Racing and ordered a custom-tailored since all the pre-made race suits didn't fit me very well. I went with the Titanium Nomex suit with the Racer Deluxe Package; which adds 360* arm gussets, lower back gussets, straight leg cuffs and full box quilt, I then also added the built-in arm restraint connections (since you never know when you might get the chance to drive an open-cockpit racecar); finally I got the speedfit collar on the suit.
A terrible mock-up of my suit
Of course, the most important part is the coloring of the suit -- black, silver and white (no I'm not a Raider's fan - the colors just matched everything else I have bought so far). And, as you can tell from the terrible mock-up above, it should look really slick. Now, I've just got to wait the five weeks for the suit to be made and shipped to me.
