As per the title, where in the Bay are the best places to get race gear? I hear Wine Country Motorsports is pretty good. Any others?

What do you guys recommend gear wise (Helmet, shoes, gloves, etc...)?

Livermore Performance

Helmet:
Something that fits well, lightweight, and within your budget. Try on as many as you can. I like HJC for the bang for the buck.

Clothing:
Buy the lightest suit that you can afford. It makes a difference. I like Puma shoes and Sparco gloves.

HANS.
HANS.
HANS.

and race suit, yes buy the lightest you can. sparco and stand 21 are my fav.

Carnerd

I probably wont need a race suit for a good two years but i'll definitely keep it in mind when looking.

P.J.S.

Arai GP5W helmet is nice -- pricey... but nice...and it is your head...
I like the alpinestar shoes/gloves

We like helping fellow Porsche owners spend their money.

Carnerd

And who doesnt enjoy spending money? Now i just need to find money to spend!

There goes another $1,500 for a HANS device and compatable helmet.

There's also a Bell warehouse in Oakland that you can shop at with super-knowledgeable people there.
