Timeout here!!!<br /><br />Gloves are a key element in driver safety, specifically against a fire. Wearing leather or polyester gloves will cause you to lose your hands in the event of a fire. If you gonna wear gloves on the track, please, please, please get some nomex/kevlar gloves. Check out the one's on sale at <a href="http://www.bellmotorsports.com" target="_blank">www.bellmotorsports.com</a> - they're located in Oakland (just on the way to either Sear's PT or T-Hill).<br /><br />In the event of a fire, leather will shrink, and if you're wearing medium to heavy leather gloves, if they get near (or on) fire, they can literally break your hand. Polyester is even worse, as it will just melt into your skin.<br /><br />Remember, in the event of a fire, your hands are of the utmost importance. If a fire occurs, you will need to bring your car under control, stop it, then exit. I don't mean to scare anyone, but you've only got a few seconds to get this done. The last thing you need is your gloves preventing your from accomplishing this life saving task...<br /><br />And while on this soap box, please consider racing shoes as well. For the same reasons as I stated about the gloves. Also, if you are wearing rubber soled shoes, it will be really hard to exit a vehicle on fire if your shoe soles have melted onto the brake pedal.<br /><br />Good gloves and shoes will only set you back $100 - $120, and when added with cotton pants and a cotten long sleaved shirt (and helmet), you should be ok for enjoying open track at a novice level.<br /><br />Have Fun - Drive Safely,<br />Randy R... <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Bullitt208</b> <br /><small>Member # 441</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,6,18,14,50,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Randy makes some very good points.<br /><br />I have a question.
