What other racing specific stuff do you have in your car or for yourself?
Here's the helmet I use (and I love it):

So far I've used my Mechanix gloves. Last track day, the SAAC tech told me that in a fire, they'd melt to my hands. Great news.
So here are the ones I've been eyeballing:

Lastly, I have no shoes. I wear DC's, which are NOT great for driving in. And hell, they'd probably melt to my feet.
So it's a toss up between the Shelby shoes (depending on feedback here) and these:

Any input as always is much appreciated.

I've got some stuff I've had for years (all nomex) - but - I need to get it all out to see what it is! I do have a new helmet, though. Maybe I'll get a chance to photograph this weekend....

I have a
simpson CF stingray helmet
Hans professional device
Sparco underwear garments
sparco x light 300
sparco gloves
sparco boots

In my opinion, I would rather spend $3000 on my safety than $3000 making my car faster.
