What makes *real* roll bar padding any differant than the pipe insulating foam you see at the hardware store?
( real question ) That said, they have it at Wine Country Motorsports in Sonoma at the track. KT |

If your racing Andy you'll need to get the newer FIA approved stuff. Pricey but if memory serves its fire & crash tested.
Rather than just some foam insulation that'll only stop scratches... Attached image(s)

I just got a bunch of the padding from these guys. They are great to work with. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) |

no rules, just wrong Group: Benefactors Posts: 2,321 Joined: 13-January 03 From: San Jose, CA Member No.: 141  |
MUCH more dense and will slow the impact between your head and the rollbar. Seriously, roll bar padding is part of crash protection. Would you go out on the track in a bicycle helmet? Plus the fire resistence, I hadn't thought of that. Now I'm tempted to go to the hardware store, buy some foam padding and see how it burns. That would make for a cool thread. |

Ditto the new fire approved stuff.
buy it to start with and then your done. It is pricey, but many of the different sanctioning bodies are phasing in the new stuff... I have the old, Automotive approved stuff and had to buy a 2nd time to get the fire stuff. Old stuff melts nicely. (and I'm not talking about home depot) wouldn't want that to happen on your face! |
