Part time racer looking for a driving suit to pick up off someone. I'm not in the saddle enough to justify spending$ 1,000 on a new suit...message me if you are willing to part with one. I'm about 6'1" 170lbs

If one cannot afford the best safety equipment available, perhaps one cannot afford to race. . . .

There's nothing wrong with using a good used suit.

Actually I can afford to buy the nicest, most expensive suit out there if you must know. But does it make sense to you to spend$ 1,000+ on a suit when you only race a handful of times a year, if that...doesn't to me but hey, who am I.

My daddy taught me long ago, theres buying cheap and then theres buying inexpensive. All my stuff is inexpensive, but none of it is cheap.

DJ Safety has prefabricated suits in sizes like you buy clothes @ a fair price. Black Blue and Red are available. http://www.djsafety.com/ (323) 221-0000

If you look in your mirror and see a line of cars behind you, be kind and pull over.

I have 2 Simpson suits that I'd sell. Im about 6'2" 195 but i was about 20 pounds lighter then. Hence why I had to get another one. One is a MTO.33 3-layer that I've probably worn less than a dozen times. Its gabardine. White torso, blue arms and legs, red piping. Every option. It is in excellent condition. It does have my name on the belt but I'm sure it can be removed. I'd have to check on the second one. I believe it's a MTO.23 2-layer that has less options. I guess make me an offer.
