Question

hey guys...
the time has come... i am gonna be doing Club Rally here in the states this year...

need to get a race suit... QUICK... (first race is Feb)

doesnt have to be a full 3 layer suit...
i can always buy the Nomex thermals...

but i need one that's realitively inexpensive... nothing too fancy... i have to be able to afford this!!! Looking at $200-$300.....

any leads???
I know of D Tweeks.... the smallest suit they have is STILL too small...
(oops... i meant too big... doh!! coffee time for me! i better wake up!!!!)

any other ideas??? links? urls?

thanks all!
j.

Question

The smallest suit is still too small?

Then wouldnt it be wise to get a larger size?

Exclamation

unless your rules are different to us, the nomex underwear does NOT class as a layer under "3-layer" descriptions, in the same way that wearing 2x 2 layer suits is not allowed...

check it out, i'd suggest.

Subie Gal,

Not wishing to offend, have you had a look at some of the kid's overalls available from Demon Tweeks??

On the bright side, they are a lot cheaper!!!

Subie Gal,

Please be careful when buying another competitors suit. They may have had a huge crash at some point with the obligatory rectal accident

I know where to get a nice Momo race suit, used only for one race.
It was sold on an auction i Paris yesterday for 15.200 UK pound

Used by M Scumacher during one F1 year 2000 race.

I give it a try. I have one nice blue Sparco suit, used several times my me in club racing.
Bids above 5.000 UK pound accepted !!
Merry Christmas
