New suit & helmet
While I was @ Lime Rock park for the ALMS race I decided to stop by the shop in the infield and buy a new helmet, since I was due. I also bought fireproof suit, since all I have now is treated corner worker whites, not really up to snuff with all the work I'm doing on my car.
I'm glad I went and stopped by a shop, there's no way you can tell online whether a suit is going to fit or not. I wound up trying on every helmet & suit in the shop! Besides I'd rather support a local shop.
Here's what I wound up getting:

Can't believe how light the helmet is compared to my old clunker, and the helmet & the suit are Hans ready.
Tells you something when there's a world class race going on outside, and I'm inside the shop getting a new helmet & suit. LOL

Cool looking stuff Brian! You're right about the suit. I ordered mine online and had to send it back for another size. I would have thought it fit from the size chart but I guess not.

Good deal. What car did you bring to Lime Rock, Brian? I saw you'd be there from your comment in LG's thread, but never saw any Polo C4s, in the Corral at least.

Nice! I heard it was a great event up there this weekend, with more attendance than last year...good for motorsports, good sign of economy too.
They got a sweet store up there, packed with everything you can think of.
Did you get any gloves or shoes?
