A couple of things!!

1. Where do i get some they look sweet

2. Are they legal for racing? I have learnt to look past it but when i first saw the sparks it was a little off putting when following someone with sparks everywhere...


my toe sliders do it a bit but i dont often drag my toe only on really long corners...

I think they're titanium so at the price, that'd make them unobtanium.

haha yeah so i have heard! I checked some out on the internet called "wiz" but im not sure if you can get them in NZ, the place i get all my gear from "speed-tech" can get them at a reasonable price but the freight in ridiculous!!!

Here in the UK most tracks insist that sparkie knee and toe sliders are removed, for the reason you stated

If you have any bother getting them directly from Wiz, let me know and I can always get some and forward them on to you at cost

(If you think the sparkies are expensive, check out the McDaddy leather sliders (http://www.wizracing.co.uk/shop/?p=productMore&iProduct=5)!!!!) Yes, that's GBP :eek5:

I was quite sure they're banned but couldn't find anything doing a search in the Safety Gear or Road Racing chapters of the rule book. Have seen plenty of people using them.

Hee hee

I didn't tell ya this! BUT

This one time at racer camp, this guy, he took a drill and made some holes in a pair of his old ones and glued in lighter flints (looked like little white sticks - sorry I'm a girl) - they worked reallll good. Got some awesome pics too.:clap:
