A snug fitting suit looks dashing. Loose fitting suits - think Jacques Villaneuve - looks sloppy, but are cooler. What DJ said about comfort.

What Sunday said on the three-layer Nomex.

I have a Sparco Tech 5 suit. The fit is perfect and I've been quite pleased with it. For boots I use the Sparco Top 2's.

Greg and Mark,
With my new car I'll be doing time trial starting in February and I'll need and want complete protection hense the question of preferences. My car will already have roll bar, racing seat, harness & fire extinguisher. I have a great helmet, belts, etc., just wanted suit, boot advice.
Thanks,
JRG

Hopefully if they'll let me!
I need to complete the short track license which I will at the January event. I'm hoping they will let me run with an instructor at Las Vegas in February. The first racer's clinic is not until June, so I'll probably just run anyplace I can get onto. Tracqust has Jan27 at Big Willow and I'll definitely be there.

All suggestions and help appreciated.
