Finally Bought a Helmet

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?

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.

what is yer car running at NYIRP?

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

lol at subtle humor.

:word:

LOL, How did i know you were going to get a CF helmet :lol:

pimpin.

Now all you need is some carbon fiber undies, CF pants, and CF wife beater t-shirt and you are all set and ready to race :tup:

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.

haha i have funny arai video on my laptop, its an “instructional video” spoof for fitting people to the helmets. I’ll see if I can find it hosted anywhere

they are fucking baller though

i’m a big fan of my shoe rf1000. fits perffect
