Default What do you use for safety???

I figured I would start a "safety" thread so I could get ideas as well as clue other people into some things they may want to consider to participate in track days. So here is my list of safety things so far...

Kirk Racing 4-Point Roll Bar
Moroso Roll Bar Padding
Corbeau FX1 Pro Seat
Corbeau 3" 5-Point Harnesses
Fire Bottle Fire Supression System
Airbags Removed
IO Port Racing Seat Back Brace
G-Force Nomex Lined Full Face Helmet
RCI 2-Layer Nomex Jacket
Sparco Nomex Gloves

Coming Soon...
Full Roll Cage
HANS Device (Ordered Today!)
1 Piece Nomex Driving Suit
Nomex Lined Driving Shoes

don't forget condoms, if you win a race you don't want the finish line models to give you the clap

As I learned from years of racing Dirt bikes and Mountain bikes, the smoother you are, the faster you can go, and the safer you are. Now if I could just win an AutoX that would be nice like I use to with the other type of races!

High Performance Driving Schools !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Learning what your car can do at its limits is IMHO the single most effective safety upgrade you can purchase. Avoiding accidents is the key to surviving them.

Someone very wise once said: "Luck is when opportunity meets preparation" ... Make sure you are prepared in the skill department as well as the hardware department.

if you're serious about racing you might want to ditch that corbeau seat and get one strictly for racing. An aluminum frame seat....I've seen corbeaus and sparcos twist up pretty bad in wrecks..

Thats why I got the IO Port Racing seat back brace. I am sponsored by Corbeau so there isn't really much I can do about that until 2007.

This is my safety *holdls up right foot*

I'm an autocross guy so a helmet is all I am allowed in my class I never understood why the SCCA is so restrictive about roll cages/bars. Yeah, it stiffens the car, but come on, safety is safety!

Yeah -- I would get an FIA certified seat. Like a Sparco Evo L or Pro 2000.
