In anticipation of finally being done with the lakester and on the salt, I
purchased a "cool shirt" at PRI show in December. Since I am to be short
on space for a cooling unit, I opted for a quick connect that will cool
until we are ready to close the canopy. Disconnect two quick release
fittings and one 12 V power lead and the cold water source stays out of the
race car. Cool Shirt is on line www.coolshirt.net Price was good, but not
cheap. I expect it along with a forced air breathing system should help in
the comfort level while strapped in and waiting. Thats when I get to
feeling a bit claustrophobic.
The shirt is short sleeve Nomex in my case and ribbed with tubing for
cooling water, If I can loose enough weight by August, I suppose I'll wear
my PBI long sleeve under shirt over that. Like one of my friends says, you
only have one chance to over-engineer something.
