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. |

I always see them in stock at Wine Country Motorsports.
I was dunking my head sock and t-shirt in cold water before each session at TH. Also, a lot of walking throught the outdoor shower/cooling station along the back straight between 13 and 14. A wet cloth with those gel-packs in the folds works really nice on the neck. I had a fresh set for each session at Sears. Also, pour water down the front and back of your suit. KT |
