Track Days and 2 piece leather suits????

[nzspokes]

Local trackday company has banned 2 piece zip up leather suits. Is this happening anywhere else?

Anybody heard of a problem with them?

With your personal private parts relying on a Chinese zip to keep them safe ... fair call really.

Only a few places allowed it anyway. Organizers/insurers responsibility's will be behind it.

Only in the faster groups or across all?

Not that I've ever done a track day (and not likely to, just curious). I can kind of understand this in the fast group (read race practice) but it seems to me a bit of overkill in the slow group.

Yeah I got that email tonight as well. I'd say it's down to what Pukekohe Park Raceway lay down for the organizer of the days' event. Not an issue to me as I partake in a one piece leather suit, maybe you should invest in your own custom made one Rob? Would go nicely with your new thou...

I see there's another track based training day listed for December 10th this year by the way.

Didn't really want to think of you in a one piece toothpaste tube...

Who has banned them?

Some 2 piece suits have the zip sewn on the lining, but I'd have no concerns about my el cheapo Berick suit.

They don't use a different track surface for the slow group. Crashing still hurts and sub par gear leads to injury. Puke isn't the slowest track around either, nor the safest.

All groups, and the track is speed restricted anyway. No warmers or race bikes allowed.

So what they have said is if you have a 2 piece you can ride but will be speed restricted to 140.

I have no interest being on the track in fast group with guys that can do 200+ when im restricted to 140.

SO you now have to buy a cheap Chinese one piece and it will be allowed?

Which local track day company?

Its Passmasters, but its sounds like a rule that has come down from Pukekohe park. FB says Prorider had someone crash and this is the reaction to it. This is only a rumour though. So who knows?

If you have it custom made you can get as much tassels, glitter and fringing as you want. The fatter you are, the more of each you can have, Its a win win. My next leathers will be modelled on my previous career as a rodeo clown. yup
