Holiday Wish Book: Complete Starter Gear Package

Driver Gear, Features I By Tom Martin I December 07, 2016
When some of us were kids, we loved the idea of the “gift pyramid” — you got a stack of gifts arranged in a tower from large at the bottom to small at the top. Now that we’re older, we know what to put in those boxes. 
If you or someone you love is going to get started in road racing in 2017, you’ll need safety gear from head to toe. You’ll need a helmet, a balaclava, a suit, gloves, socks and shoes. All with safety ratings to meet the muster of the sanctioning body that you run with (SCCA or NASA or ChumpCar, etc). 
We’ve put together a low-cost group of those products, at a special price, to make it easy to get going. We’ve built this package around the Sparco Jade suit because it is both cost-effective and has pro styling. We’ve used G-Force for the helmet (available in black), shoes and gloves. The package is rounded out with Alpinestars socks and and Oreca balaclava. All for $699.
We sell lots of suits and helmets alone that cost more than $699, but we think the most important wish for 2017 is to spend time at the track. We hope this package helps someone on your list get there. 
If you’re looking for an all-in-one gear package with more features than this one, check out the WRR Intermediate Road Racing Gear Package.
Over the new few weeks, we’ll be putting together our dream holiday wish list. From race cars to apparel, we’ve compiled our Holiday Wish Book that would even make Rudolph jealous.
