    If you race a VW or are crew for a bunch of guys who do, a cool suit is a must, cars break more in the heat, so I have to fix them.... A cool suit & refuge with A/C has allot to do with the enjoyment to be had at a race..

    Also I have a 3 beer max at july & august races.. maybe 4-5 if there low cal light beers...

    Their are inexpensive ways to keep cool, our coolers are from Orthopedic cold therapy units, I think there is a class action law suit due to a few peoples joint became to cold..So usually $20-$40 used.. We have found 6 of them just by asking around. The coolers I have seen run on either 12vdc or 7vdc, all have a hardwired 110vac transformer, cut off the transformer, connect it to your car..or leave it and use an inverter. The 7 volt ones I think you use a 300 ohm resistor, I used a rheostat.. Also they only work with "Cool Shirt" not Faast systems.. different connectors..

    I am 38 going on 23.. The brain some times forgets your body has limits..
