What are you guys using to protect your roll cages from rust? Our car is a Lothringer Class 1600 that we have been using Scotchbrite and WD-40 on, but we are looking for something that will hold up a little longer. It got a little rusty at this years 1000. I have heard of using lindseed oil, ATF and mixtures of those with WD-40. What is your favorite secret sauce?

OK I found a good deal on ebay for the R3. Only problem is the Shoulder straps are not connected to the back board. I see two slots where it looks like the D rings attach some how. I was hoping some one could look at theirs and/or put up a picture so I can see how these connect. Muchas Gracias

I have been wanting to buy a racing suit to wear while riding shotgun in some races in the future. First one won't be until April (HDRA Imperial 250) but I just want your guys' input and opinion. Is a 1 layer suit ok to wear? I just don't want to spend a couple hundred on a suit I'll maybe only use once. Who makes a good affordable (less than $150) 1 layer suit? Thanks everyone.

Can you recertify a 5 point harness? I have some that are out of date and need to know if they can be recertified.

Looking for information regarding the correct usage of safety restraint systems ~ AND ~ are head/neck/back injuries lower when the shoulder restraints are NOT used. Attached is info from GM & Mastercraft/Impact but I would like to know if any others have info regarding safe/proper usage (or the lack there of) of safety restraints. I've been in a crash with my shoulder harnesses in a "loose"...

I already have a D-Cell and also have the hybrid pro. The D-cell makes my suit bunch up and squish the berries so that one is no more. Can't see away to fix that. Then i purchased the hybrid before trying. Told it was better. Seems to bang between my shoulder blades a little and dig in causing a bruise in center of back. Is this the same for the other head neck restraints? Is this a problem for...

Any info would be appreciated. I search the forum and different seat manufaturers and didnt find much. Pics would be great thanks.

Just wondering can you get helmets recertified?

I went out and bought some rear led lights for a chase vehicle and was thinking that at night this thing will look like a race vehicle and if i was out chasing our race truck and someone came up on it id be pretty pissed haha. i was thinking that there should be a light out there for pit or chase vehicles...any body else feel the same:confused:

I have some Nomex underlayers that I wear under my race suit. It is awesome, but it seems to be stretching out and getting bigger every time I use it. Anybody know what I can do about this? I don't put my Nomex stuff in the dryer, but maybe I should. Yes/no?

How come commercial airlines do not change their belts regularly ? Do any of you change out your passenger car seat belts every couple of years ? The only racing seat belt malfunction I am aware of is Dumping and that is caused by ...

i also posted about this outfit in the misc. section as well. they make clothing that incorporates peltier junction technology in clothing, head gear and shoes to keep users cool in hot environments or warm when it's cold. this could be huge in motorsports in my opinion. i don't know how to put up a link so you'll have to google it yourselves. it's fascinating.

We are in the process of building our first SCORE truck, a Class 3 Range Rover Classic and had been working off the old rule book until the new one came out a little bit ago. One big change noticed was the change from allowing rotary polymer cells in the prior book to being banned as of 1/1/11 this year. So with the rule change only allowing for nylon or Dacron woven cells with the rubber...
