Look at me I just bought some water and a bagel… I’d def say that you are going to wish you had the forced air for track days, even auto/x on a hot day makes my face sweat with an open faced helmut. Julie… do you hook yours up or does that hole just help w/ the breathing onf the helmut? ---

> [@73ghia](#): > > Julie… do you hook yours up or does that hole just help w/ the breathing onf the helmut? There are three ways I am going to do this. Think vacuum hose… 1. Rig up a system to my car vents and use the factory fan. I am blocking off the passenger and driver side vents so I will only have air going through the center vent. I will make a funnel or something to take up the place of the center vents. 2. Run a ducted intake in my passenger window and just have a RAM air effect. 3. Buy a cooler, make a hole for the hose, us an inline van and fill cooler with ice. I will eventually do this, as I am planning on making a cool suit that incorperates the same cooler. ---

Can you add maple scent to the air, for a pancake-house effect? That’d be SWEET!! My advice would be to use ice in plastic bags, this way when it melts, it’s self contained and doesn’t add humidity to your air. ---

I will eventually do this, as I am planning on making a cool suit that incorperates the same cooler. i was actually thinking about this, i was thinking maybe lexan in the 1/4 glass with a vent, i’ve seen a few setups like this at the vintage weekends. but I’m gonna have the Z on the street once in a while too, so I wasn’t sure if I wanted to ---

I’ve had a number of Arai helmets and along with Bell they are my favorite brand. Looks nice and it’s light, but you really want an SA helemt if you are driving a car and the track wants to get pricky. ---
