Any suggestions where I can get hold of a fireproof / flame retardent race suit & ideally a class " a " helmet in the same place.

Somewhere in the Essex or surrounding areas would suit me best.

North Weald sprint is looming, so I need to get sorted this week!

Thanks for the info Pete,

Ordered the suit from Demon Tweeks today, delivery supposedly tomorrow.

Unfortunately, black not avilable for a few weeks, so look out for a chubby version of Schumacher in racing red.

PS- Hopefully you rec'd my emailed registration form today.

PPS - Got the bible a few days ago & was interested to read the section on not using engine gearing to brake due to the potential effects of the torque on the back end.
Damn, I wont be able to master heel & toeing before Sunday as I am guilty of using a combination of engine breaking & the brake for the last 13 or so years.

You old pro's will have to give me some tips on the day.

All the best.

Thanks for the words of wisdom old boys.

Had a quick look at the entry list & notice the Green v8s isn't listed for North Weald ( or did I miss it ).

Will try & watch & learn from the Bible writer.

PS ( Is your nickname God ? )
