It's a poignant time to ask this question after Gavs little excursion.

May I strongly suggest forgetting overalls and a motorcycle helmet, despite what the minimum requirement is, and buy a helmet made for your own mellon that's Hans compliant, a hans device or similar, 3 layer suit or equivalent with underwear, gloves, boots, arm restraints etc etc then go to a race set up shop and get your belts fitted CORRECTLY and ensure u can reach your fire extinguisher belted, dual throttle return springs etc etc etc. the list goes on and u can't stop when it comes to safety.

If ever I'm on my lid, on fire or in the wall I need to ensure I did every thing I could pre incident to ensure the best outcome post incident for me and my family.

Practice getting out fast with your eyes closed.

Accidents happen novice or pro and u need to take track work seriously if u choose to leave the dummy grid for the WOT lane.

Good luck but happy to help if I can. Not wanting to Poo Poo just very aware we should take what we do seriously even if it's only the odd sprint day. What's your life worth?
