76  Driving Across CountrybettyDone229/16/2005

75  NASCAR DaysgregDone219/9/2005
    There is no A/C in a race car, and it gets pretty darn hot in the cabin. The vest, of course, is for protection. That way, in case you roll over you will always land right side up again, which is why you must always make sure your safety harness is correctly fastened.
