Talking SoCal Track/Racing Supply Store

SoCal Track/Racing Supply Store (Austin TX & Bowling Green KY too)
NIRVANA! I am in San Diego...my neighbor needed a helmet. We couldn't find a store selling helmets and other track gear. They may be here, but we couldn't find them.

Did a search and came up with a few, Sube Sports in. Huntington Beach, and the one closest to us, The Orange County BSoCal Track/Racing Supply Store

Did a search and came up with a few, Sube Sports in. Huntington Beach, and the one closest to us, The Orange County Winding Road Racing Store. At the Santa Ana store, they had an incredible selection of helmets, HANS devices, gloves, COOL SHIRTS, you nane it, it's probably there.. It is located in the vacinity of South Coast Plaza, with easy freeway access. POC and PCA Members get a 5% discount.

A good business model would be to have a track nearby for your racing track store... You're in socal and the nearest track would be Autoclub speedway (not close to san diego) or willow springs....
I bet there are shops around there.

Autoclub Speedway is nearly dead, scheduled to be torn down in 2022, postponed from 2021. Willow Springs has nothing. The only shops I have been able to find are:
  1. Winding Road Racing
  2. WERKS 2 in Burbank
  3. Sube Sports in Huntington Beach
  4. Stand 21, very expensive albeit high quality stuff
  5. Sparco, suits, helmets, etc.
  6. GMG
We didn't check them all out this time, but in the past, I had been to WERKS 2, Sube Sports, Stand 21, Sparco and GMG in the past. Winding Road was closest right off the 405, and they carry a wide array of track supplies...that's the reason we didn't venture out further. The sales person was a VARA racer and knows his stuff. For me, I'll go back to Winding Road, known inventory and convenient.

WR seems to have a good reputation, but I bought something from them online once and they spammed my email big time, so they have lost any future business from me.

GMG has a race team in IMSA.... I would trust they know better than anyone.
I also heard GMG rebuilds PDK's!
