please excuse another old thread reboot - just a recycler

any views on whether the two piece NASCAR type suits are a bad idea or not? I know most guys tend to wear one piece but I thought that was related to very tight fit F1 or single seater issues - any thing else? I imagine if Nas is using them, they must be as safe right? I see the RaceImage site mentioned above seems to have more 2 pieces than 1. All insight gratefully received.

Most road racing orgs do not allow two piece suits, check the rules of your group...

thanks JR - so are the two piece suits only for pit guys and the Nascar drivers always in 1 piece?

+1 on OG's great service. I've been buying suits from OG on and off for twenty years and they're terrific. No worries for you mail-order people. They'll make sure you're satisfied!
