Back in 1966, while going through the Russell Racing Drivers School at
Willow Springs, I was coming into turn 3 at 7000rpm in 4'th gear. (Lotus
31-class 'C' formula). I was wearing an open face helmet and goggles. I hit
a bee; between the top of the goggles and helmet...... Talk about something
that's not only a distraction to what your doing in the car to begin with,
it HURT LIKE HELL!!

Your choice. Soon thereafter I bought a full coverage helmet and have worn
one ever since.
