I'm thinking of ordering a cool suit tomorrow and having it overnighted to me before this weekends time trial at Thunderhill. It's supposed to be somewhere ~100 degrees ambient which means sizzle city in the car. I was at Buttonwillow last month when it was 106 degrees and the track was somewhere around 120 degrees according to the pyro.
Do the cool suit shirts work and how do you run the coolant lines out of your fire suit? Do you need to have a hole stiched into it or do you unzip your from the bottom? Hopefully there is one in stock close if I can get it to me by Thursday. Thanks, Bill P. |

The budget racer setup is ~$500 once you throw in an extra shirt for 2 day events plus the mounting hardware...that's the cheap version. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
That's why I want to know if they really work or not. The budget racer setup has an 8 quart capacity, the "pro" series has 16 quart capacity. Or do I just keep t-shirts in the ice chest, throw on a cold one before every session and tighten the belts? It sounds cheaper..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Bill P. |
