Title: Cold/Rainy Weather Racing???
Post by: Nate R on October 27, 2002, 04:31:37 PM
OK, I know many wear rainsuits when it's raining, but, when it's cold or raining, what do you racers do for gloves? Just let them get soaked? Let your hands freeze? There's no way I'm not racing in the rain, or because it's 40 degrees out, so I'm wondering what you all do to keep those appendages warm and dry.

Do what we did this weekend. Drive down to North Florida Motorsports track for their open practice day.
Great track. Nice people (esp. new track mgr. Bill Brown) Great weather (70's today) $100.00 ride all day. What else can you ask for? They told us they would be open 2 weekends a month all winter ;D ;D

RA april 2002.   40 dergrees rainy, 30 mph winds.

Believe me, when your WFO in the rain, your hand warmth is the last thing you think about.

For the 40 degree and steady rain race at Roebling in January a few years ago someone gave me moose kevlar glove liners. I have had them ever since and they work great. Put them on, then put your gloves on.
