I need a new helmet - mine is expired. What are the details on yours and where’d you get them?

Racequip Pro15, they are very light and at least on our heads very comfortable. I got both of them through Jegs, they are one of the cheaper helmets out there but honestly I'm very impressed for the price. They come with the nutserts for the Hans anchors, vented well, etc. Paid $220 each.

Next time I order a helmet it'll probably be a Roux, or a Stillo if I feel like being broke for a while. :cry:

Stilos are awesome, especially if you plan to become a storm trooper.

Pretty much everyone I race with has one, and I'm feeling a little left out. haha

Just buy a truck. Towing with an SUV sucks. Especially one with IRS.

Nah, SUV’s are fine if they are setup to tow. I used a 2008 Expedition and pulled my 26’ Formula boat on a tandem axle aluminum trailer all around the Gulf Coast with no issues and that boat and trailer weighed around 7500 pounds.

The key is to get the trailer set up correctly (get the tongue weight correct) and use a weight distributing hitch. And some good electric over hydraulic brakes.

Last piece of safety equipment came in. Just needed something for the rare occasion the car has a passanger, will eventually get another Hans but for now this will do.



Also finishing up the side splitters FINALLY! Last few pieces of the puzzle came in. Added a 90° angle stock runner to the edge to keep the HDPE ridged. Also adding 2 support bars to each side, this should shore up the entire splitter.
