I find guys with no hair on their head have a real problem. The beanine really helps them. I have never worn one,, so I can't talk from personal experience.
But I do know some real heavy sweaters! They have lots of hair and they have the same problem with sweat running down into their eyes. These guys do run Super Bikes in Canada and USA. It may sound weird but they have learned to use some really unorthodox products to help absorb the sweat!

Thanks I think I'll just have to try one, Im one of those guys with no hair....

Thanks I was going to try using AXE deodorant with antiperspirant on my forehead

Tried that.

too many fat chics makes drafting difficult!.

You're skinny, you can probably deal with it.

YA, That's the biggy! But don't ask me what works best!! You'll have to trial and error this one on your own!

The little PUG beanies are priceless for keeping sweat out of your eyes and keeping your helmet dry on really hot days. Just clip it to your canopy between sessions and they stay nice and dry. I know what you mean about "no hair", on a hot day under heavy breaking it used to "rain" on my visor.

I wear my PUG gear as my base layer on my cold weather runs. It's far superior to the other brand name stuff from sporting good stores and is much more durable. The slightly taller neck is also a nice touch as it keeps zippers and other collars from rubbing on your skin.

I use and abuse them 12 months a year from riding in 32 degree heat to running in -25 cold and after 4 years my oldest pair are showing no signs of wear, even on the legs. I can't say enough about these things, they're great.

My fitness prep for track day (in no particular order)


#1 Hydrate Yourself
#2 Eat a Nice Meal in The Morning
#3 Get a Good Nights Sleep the Night Before

Side Note:
#4 If your tired or stressed, dont get on your bike.

Aslong as you live an semi active lifestyle you can race. If you gain 5 pounds, take 5 off the bike...simple!

I think the point to getting fit for the track is that you would reduce the tired and stressed out part and get more quality riding time in. You make good points though, you can train all you want but if you have too many beers the night before, don't hydrate properly, and don't eat well, then whats the point.

....too many beers the night before, don't hydrate properly, and don't eat well.......

You just described a GOLO weekend

[Aliki @ VnM Sportgear]

Funny!!! I was thinking that when I wrote it :P

Now that I'm in my forties, I find that I really have to train to get the stamina to do a full track day. Stamina training is definitely the thing to be concerned about, although I do also find my wrists get very sore sometimes if I am over-riding the bike. Not sure how to train for that. I find that my 2nd session I am feeling worked and by the third, my training kicks in and it actually gets easier.

As others said, hydration and a good night's sleep really do fit the bill. You have to drink water more or less continuously all day during the summer at the track, or you'll feel light-headed and lethargic.

I stay fit by riding my other bike around the pits...



filled with beer of course.
