Can anyone help out a fellow racer?

[ddewhurst]

Would that be theeeee famous Matt whose last inital is B.?

[Chris Wire]

Aaron,

I never did get to read the original post, but would gladly help out if I can. I may have a driver's suit and pair of Simpson HiTop racing shoes that would work. You can PM me or email to cwire*at*therecoveryroom*dot*com with the sizes needed, and I'll see what I can do.

[NutDriverRighty]

What size shoes are needed? I think I may have a pair that I can donate towards the cause. I have not been logging on as much recently as in the past, so please be patient with a response. PM me with the size, if you would.

Just a quick update. My neice got to come home! :026:She is gaining some weight and seems to be doing well. My sister in law is also healing but still very sore. I have recieved the barclava from Mark and the gloves from Bill. Thanks guys!!! My brother was so excited when I gave them to him. He can't believe the generosity. I hope I can come up with a driving suit and shoes, which I am working on with a couple of other members here, and a helmet. I am trying to keep everything posted here because I don't want any duplicates, that is definately not the point of this. Thanks again to everyone and please continue to keep my neice in your prayers.

Another big thanks to Mike (m glassburner) he is sending a pair of nomex socks for my brother. And a Huge thank you to Mike (m33mcg) who is sending a fire suit!! I can't thank all of you enough. I hope we see you guys at the track sometime. The only thing my brother is lacking at this point is a helmet (XL) and a pair of shoes (9 1/2). If anyone has any leads on these items let me know. Thanks again, what a great group of guys. I am proud to be part of the Improved Touring group!

OK Aaron, I think I may have what your brother needs. I am a bit of a helmet collector (much to my wife's dismay). I have a G-Force Hybrid that is SA2000 approved. I'll check the size when I get home, but it MIGHT be an XXL. I have a bucket for a head and generally wear a 7 3/4. My only condition to offering it (if your bro wants it) is for the "Discovery Parts" decals remain on it. The owner has always done my brother and I right and has even cost himself money to save us money, so I think he deserves the free ad. Let me know at ScottF *at* NutDriver *dot* org.

I got the socks from Mike (mglassburner) Thanks Mike!!! Scott is sending my brother one of his older helmets, awesome!!! Thanks Scott! And I think Mike (m33mcg) is going to send a driving suit, Mike I sent you and email just waiting to hear from you. Thanks again to everyone that has helped out my brother, he and I both appreciate all the generous help and donations! My niece is doing well, she is gaining some weight. Mom is doing well, but isn't getting a lot of sleep. The baby has to be fed every 3 hours 24/7 because she was a preemie. Thanks to everyone that is praying for them.

Actually she has to be fed every 3 hours because she's a newborn

Got I don't miss that. It's a little better when they get to 6-7 months. LOL

Glad to hear everyone is ok.

I got the helmet from Scott yesterday. Awesome helmet by the way! We can't thank everyone enough. What a huge help to my brother. Just trying to keep you guy's up to date on everything. Here is what has been donated to my brother so far:

3.3/5 Gloves - Bill S.
Nomex Socks - Mike G.
Nomex Barclava - Mark B. / Scott F.
SA2000 Helmet - Scott F.

and Mike (m33mcg) is sending a driving suit.

I can't thank all of you enough!

[Chris Wire]

Aaron,

Glad to hear things are looking up. I believe I still have a large Bell/Nasa driver's suit if Mike's doesn't work out. And also a pair of Simpson high top shoes in sz 11, black. (IIRC)

[arpenn]

Hey guy's!
Here is another update. My neice is doing very well she is over 7 lbs. now and my sister in law was able to go back to work last week! So both are doing very good. And yes my neice is cute, not that I am partial or anything.

My brother is still in need of a driving suit, I guess that Mike changed his mind I haven't heard from him in some time. I did send Chris an email about his suit so I will let you know. It will depend on the sizing. We are going to try and make an event at the end of April.

I want to thank everyone again for all the support and donations to my brother we both appreciate the help. I plan on posting a picture of him in all the gear soon, just trying to find a fire suit.

Thanks Again!

[Chris Wire]

Aaron, sorry for the delay, I haven't checked my email at home in a while. I'll do so as soon as possible.

I am 6' tall and 210 lbs with a fairly average build (34 waist). Hopefully this may help you decide if this suit will work or not. A friend borrowed it a while back and it is sitting in his closet, so I've got a call into him to get it back. Probably Thursday night.

Let me know if you think the sizing will work. I think the suit is a large.

[arpenn]

Chris what brand/model is the suit, so I can look up the size chart. The only thing I am concerned about is the waist, I think my brother is a little bigger than a 34, but most large suits according to the size charts should fit him. Send me a email or PM. Thanks!

[Chris Wire]

The suit is made by Bell/Nasa, it's called a ProEuro or something like that. I bought it about 10 years ago, but never raced more than 5 weekends in any one year. In 2002 I bought a new Sparco and haven't worn the other one since. A friend borrowed it about a year ago and wore it once and he still has it. I'm getting it back tomorrow evening. I'll contact you for further details when I've got it in hand.

John (JCmotorsports) donated a pair of shoes. They are in the mail. Thank You John!! Chris is working on a driving suit for my brother. I think with these two items and everything else that you guy's have so generously donated he has all the safety gear required to race! :026: We really can't thank you guy's enough. We are planning our first HSDE with the race car April 26 & 27 so we can get a feel for the car. We will be running at Hallett Motor Raceway just west of Tulsa, OK. I will try to post some pictures soon.

Thanks again to everyone that has helped out with donations, you guy's are the best!

[arpenn]

I recieved the shoes from John yesterday and just wanted to say a big thank you! The shoes fit my brother perfectly. What a great bunch of guys on this forum. I hope we get a chance to meet all of you someday and say thank you in person. Everything that has been donated has fit my brother great. Again thank you all!

Here is what everyone has donated to help get my brother out on the track this year.

3.3/5 Gloves - Bill S.
Nomex Socks - Mike G.
Nomex Barclava - Mark B. / Scott F.
SA2000 Helmet - Scott F.
Driving Shoes - John C.

Chris W. said he is going to donate a driving suit.

Thanks Guys your the best!
