Re: Race suits

I too am glad you all put Doris out. I really thought she was a gonner :cry:

The water pipe to the water jacket on the turbo final went the other day having been baked in the fire. I thought she was on fire again as white smoke came pouring out of the bonnet but this time it was steam. Now replaced all the pipes to the turbo.

Re how long a suit will last for speed events. As long as its not ripped and smeared with oil/grease/petrol/curry the scruts my way seem to be OK with some pretty old flame proof suits. You just need the right grade as Clee stated. So if you look after it she will last quite a few years.

Re: Race suits

The grade/spec/date.....whatever it is, changes at the end of 2009, same for crash helmets.......be careful what you buy........as a 'deal' this season may mean forking out again in 2010........

Re: Race suits

For speed events proban is still acceptable not in italics in the 2009 Blue Book so should be allowable in 2010 as well.
