I third that. Someone showed me a good demo. He gave me a stick about 3' long
and a couple inches in diameter and said "hit your pad" I did, and felt a good
solid whang from the roll bar. "Did you feel much effect from the padding?"
Hmmm, not really. "Try this closed cell stuff". No whang. Just kind of a thud.
Even I could tell that thud good, whang bad.
And I'm pretty sure you name is D-r-e-w-s

originally had the semi-fireproof padding that the racer supply places sell -
looks like a pool toy, kinda. When I was talking with the guy who fitted me
for a HANS who KNOWS HIS SAFETY STUFF, he basically said that this stuff was
useless. I needed the closed cell much harder padding. He had some with him
and I made the switch immediately. It's more expensive, but not MUCH more
expensive. I've mainly got it padded where my head would hit. I can't do
good padding in the footwell area without interfering with my operation of the
pedals unfortunately.
