Hi all,

I've seen top fuel team members using a pair of what look like sandpaper mittens to scrub up the rear tyres between burnout and staging. Does anyone know the correct term for these garments please, as I'd like to get a set to brush the embedded crap off of the super-soft tyres for another race car.

thanks,

Matt

I had no idea as it all goes on behind me, but I asked my crew and they're wearing Ringers mechanics gloves. Andy Robinson sells them if you want a pair.

The gloves have think rubber bristles that clean the tyre. Some use the glove that Tet has linked.

If your at the euro finals, swing by the Erbacher pit and ask them
