Hope someone makes a glove with some grip on the right hand, the ones I have now are really slick and hard to hold a 4sp shifter. I keep them in the car but haven't used them.

When building my car last year, and hopes of going fast enough to need the gloves. I purchased the Sparco gloves from Peter Biondo, they have the finger/palm grips and are great. After just a few passes as others have said it becomes second nature, rowing the 4 speed. Great gloves...

Dont know what brand you've got now, but I got a set of the G-Force 3.3/1 gloves at the beginning of last season. They've got a nice feel and grip and have held up very well with many passes "banging" through the gears.

I am all for safety if it makes sense for the vehicle and class you run, but this 2 year seat belt thing is a waste ... when I ride the Harley I wear a helmet, long pants, gloves, boots, leather jacket ... not mandatory but it is my choice ..

Gloves have been mandatory beginning 2011 for all cars running 9.99 or quicker. I got the Sparco (1) gloves and really don't mind wearing them at all. In fact, I kind of like them.
We've gone from an open face helmet, to full face. Long pants to racing pants. Trans shields to full flexplate shields. All in the last 3 years! I'm praying diapers aren't next!!! |

Another question, open face or full face? And why?
I have always used an open faced helmet, mainly because I wear glasses and the fact that we can get very warm down here in the South. Good idea or bad? Why? Jim
