Sorry mods if this isnt in the right spot. it seemd right at the time
(half bottle of jager later)

So I am getting back into the NASA racing this year after missing a year to watch my son grow up a bit. gonna hit a couple HPDE 2's to get in the swing but will be doing mostly time trial and pry no competition but i need some accesory tips

#1 got a new helmet: YAY!!

PYROTECT PRO airflow (SA 2005)
-large eyeport for my glasses
-compatible with bell products

so i am good to go there

however i am getting so new stuff i havent had before and i need some advice on what had worked for your guys/gals


#2 need racing/fire suit

nothign fancy but until now its been long sleeve shirt and jeans until now

-single layer is fine
-def want fire retardant
-preferably under $200


#3 4 or 5 point direct bolt on to stock anchors harness

5 point would be preferable to prevent submarining but i would prefer something that wouldnt require to much modification as i dont want to alter the interior of the car just yet

preferably under $250

now before i hear a bunch of bs about i shouldnt put aprice on safety, can that ****. i am a dad on a budget trying to get out of the house. and those 2 upgrades are better than the long sleeve with jeans and stock 3 point seatbelt i have been using

any help you guys can give me and good prices would be greatly appreciated

TIA

ryan you should have posted this two months ago.

about 2 months ago simpson had a garage sale

CRAZY prices i got NOMEX gloves for 5$ that was teh day to buy

yes i understand the price thing we arent all crapping money

schroth for the harness and it has points where you can bolt it down and just take out the back seat

i have it on my daily driver/ weekend track car

 

i know. there was tons of sles 2 months ago, but i also didnt have a job

i think imma go with one of the schroth belts you mentioned

i was looking at them how do they attach? it looks like maybe to the latch system in the back seat and the belt points in the front but i cant find a clear description.

thanks for the info sigma

 

heres a tip:

buy a miata so you dont ruin your daily driver


*edit*
also careful with a full 5 point harness. if you dont have a cage it can actually be worse in a roll over. every year theres a few people that break their necks because the roof collapses and their body cant flex out of the way.

if i had had 5 points in my accident me and rabbit would probly be dead. well probly just me im taller than he is.

 

so do i want a 1 piece or 2 piece suit.

i am thinking 2 piece cuz most racing is during the summer and would be easy to lose the jacket

however is there a safety advantage to getting a 1 piece

 

the four points mine attach two is

rear seat seat belts: where tehy anchor on the bottom of the chassis. those are the over the shoulder ones

the side aka lap belt i anchored to my seat belt points

 

bah! two piece is for drag racing

road racers use one piece hahahha

 

OH and if you need me to go to alpine star or simpson let me know they are down the street from me

 

Wine Country Motorsports at Infineon commonly has gear at great discounts. I got a 3 piece Sparco suit for a few hundred (75% off or so). Other stuff routinely on sale. It's worth a drive up...

 

I'm a dumbass. Meant one piece suit. Not sure what a 3 piece suit would look like...

 

IMO a one piece would be better because it offers better protection in case of fire or something, where as a two piece would not offer as much protection around the waist area.

 

yeah never mind. NASA requires 1 piece anyway. thats what i had before but i also remember i had gallons of sweat dripping off my ***** and thought 2 piece would be a little less hot

putting my schroth harness on order next weekend

 

NHRA will let you go with a two


just call up simpson they have extra suits taht no one picked up some were really nice

the catch: you have to be bobby and have a corvette logo on it
