Personally I think it is pretty cool ! If this was the way that he chose to race let him do it ! I didn`t see anyone complain about Tony racing with an open face helmet at FW ! Maybe we need to have a race with no cages or a single hoop cage. That would definitely seperate the men from the boys. The entry list would be pretty short I`m sure but I would be willing to bet that KO and Haud would be pre-entered

I'm pretty sure he does this every year at the Chili Bowl. It's cool to see it, but it's pretty stupid, too.

PJ Wright summed it up best. If they're all about safety, like low tires, then how do you let someone race like that.

Lighten up everyone............I really don't see it becoming a trend. Actually KO was a prime canadate to do somthing like that. :rolling::applaud:

[QUOTE=Seadog;24850]Do we have a photo of him on the track in competition attired like that?

This is my last post on this subject.

I will lead the way when it comes to having a good time and all but I know when to draw the line.

The real question is how many of you hypocrites on here currently defending KO would have beat me to the punch and started your own thread saying what he did was stupid had he crashed and burned?

It's not as funny when your goof off hero from Rockford burned to death because he was trying to get a laugh by competing without a firesuit. (yes I know he had the pants on)

When you error do so on the side of safety. :idea:

hypocrites ?

Its funny until somebody gets hurt!

Did Stewart actually race at Fort Wayne with the open face helmet? I remember seeing him hot lap with it on but don't remember him racing with it on.

I'll agree with Eric that it was absolutely stupid for Olson to race without a fireproof uniform on. Wasn't it just this past fall that a kid in Texas burned to death while qualifying a modified?

With the fumes and drastic temp changes all over the building having a open faced helmet and googles may lead to better visibility then a full faced helmet because the googles will not fog up as easy as the full faced.


My question is did anyone check the snell number on that helmet?
