    racing suit material

    That probably stems from the fact Kangaroo is traditionally thinner.So getting it wet could make it more vulnerable. I'm not a huge fan of Kangaroo just becasue of the variance in quality in every manufacturer

    racing suit material

    need one piece race suit

    Ivan cuts his suits primarily for flat track.I had one as well. It's a more upright riding style. Good stuff ,bullet proof but hard to tuck up, that also is a result of the heavier leather he uses. We could try to swap the armour for a better fit. Some of his armour is good but thick and high up...

    Forcefield makes several different jacket protectors that fit into an existing pocket in your jacket. If you do not have a pocket sometimes we can open up the linner and install one or make it so it is permanent inside the linner.

    Track Schools...Any New Ones?

    That fact is totally dependant on rider experience. Consider Keith is more or less dealing with the up level track day rider. So their level of experience is good. Take a lower level green group rider and start focusing them on lap times and you now have a ticking time bomb. If you are...

    How to start tracking?

    Don"t buy a suit off E-Bay unless you are 100% sure that size fits you. I get an endless amouts of people buying suits and then want the 46 made into a 40 or vice versa. Not worth it. Go try it on,,don"t save a nickle to spend a $100! I'm talking from the traffic I get. I have yet to see a suit...
