Leather Race Suit

[hombre]

I need a new race suit for Maxton, and the ECTA demands an all leather suit... no high tech thermo-plastic or Lycra inserts. Anyone have a recommendation in this department?

Hey, Hombre this looks like a good one.

Alright, which one of you guys was that in the dancing suit? You know what makes it a dancing suit? Plenty of ball room.

Hey Hombre, what's the date of your outing at Maxton again?

ECTA 2008 Racing Schedule at Maxton:

April 5-6
May 17-18
June 28-29
September 27-28
October 25-26

If you want to run, you do have to join ECTA in advance ($50/yr) and make speed class licensing runs. You'll need Snell approved helmet, full racing leathers, medical insurance... and steering dampener if you plan to exceed 125 MPH.

Anyone actually tried a GiMoto? Kangaroo & speed hump are good features... not sure about insert material.

I wasn't planning on running, just curious when you were. Flip said something about coming out to watch.

Walt:

I have a full leather suit but it has no armor inserts. What size are you? If you are my size, you can certainly borrow it. It cost me a thousand bucks but I hardly ever wear it.

Thanks for your generous offer, Flip. I have an old leather race suit, but it doesn't have the required back protection... suit tech has changed a lot in 20 years. I don't mind springing for a new aerodynamic suit (love those back humps)... just want to be sure I choose the right one.

It blows me away that I live a little over an hour from Maxton and I never heard of ECTA until you mentioned it.

You expect to spend a lot of time on your back, do you? I've not seen mention of what sort of steering dampeners you've employed?
