Re: The newest drag racer gears up!
Thanks all.
Safety First:
1. Child specific, racing helmet, DOT & SNELL approved, properly dated with clear visor and changeable interior padding.
2. Child sized neck collar (if this 'hobby' sticks, will upgrade to a HANS device next year).
3. Fire Resistant racing jacket.
4. Fire Resistant racing gloves.
5. Arm Restraints.
5. Fire Resistant racing pants.
6. Fire Resistant racing shoes.
7. Gear Bag - color and brand matched to all the gear.
There was one area where we didn't scrimp a penny, all of the above! It's all brand new, properly sized, but not cheap. The parent makes the decision to send their child down the track - and these things are NOT toys, they are a serious racecar, especially for an 8 year old! So, the safety stuff is good insurance that there will be a bunch of big 'ole smiles at the big end! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]
