Default PCA Spotlight with TraqGear!

Here is a link to the PCA Spotlight video we did earlier this year. Can't say enough good things about the folks at headquarters. And, as a bonus, Alan Friedman (father of Club Racing) was there offering advice as well. If you're gearing up for next season, there are a few good info nuggets in there. My focus was on safety and we did not show any current products, but, we do reference the TG journey a bit. And, it includes some data collection that came from you guys!!

We also did a special, blue Podium shirt for PCA, available to members. (there is a link in the vid) It is in very limited quantities and has the club racing logo on the sleeve. Not only that, but Pirelli subsidized some of the cost to make it more affordable. Pretty cool.

I often talk of TraqGear ideas originating from RL and PCA members..because it's true and I'm VERY grateful for you all! Merry Christmas!

Here is the link: https://www.pca.org/news/2017-12-18/...-undergarments

If someone wants to embed the video, they are welcome to. Thank you all!

I saw the PCA logoed podium shirt on the PCA website - very sharp.

Your problem now if that everything you are making is quality - all my shirts are still in good condition after three years of heavy use. They need to fall apart so I can buy from you again.

Great job Roger!

Thanks Todd!

Does it still feel like Hugh Hefners robe?

I should have put more planned obsolescence into the product! But, seriously, if you take care of the gear it lasts. Even so, still not a bad idea to get new underwear every year. FR underwear gets contaminated from sweaty acids, etc. Good news is that it protects your suit, which is much more expensive in most cases.

It still feels like Hugh Hefner's robe - but waiting on the bunnies that you promised would come along.

My coolshirt has survived several attempts of getting out of the car without unhooking. Balaclavas still retaining their shape. Everything else still good.

Underwear still makes me feel like I'm doing ballet. You can all go to sleep with THAT mental image!

yikes, Todd....tough to fathom that mental image...........

Rodger, saw the piece....congrats to you..your stuff is fantastic, super comfy, safe and VERY fashionable, to boot! (lol). Seriously, Rodger's gear is some of the best 1st layer you can slip into. I have a bunch and won't leave home or go to the track without it, period.

Congrats, again!

Thanks guys! Humbled by the kudos. Always touches the heart when someone appreciates the hard work.

And thank you for the orders!! And YES, fashion is a BIG deal. Gotta look good while we're out there sporting the cars we love.

The aim with the Podium was to have something you could look good in at an HPDE, be safer and not have to change clothes to go eat tacos at lunch.

Spoiled by Amazon but $29 for shipping seemed excessive for a shirt in US, even to west coast.
