True enough. she is a M/L if that helps

I am the biggest believer in proper safety gear. I wear long sleeves regardless, visor down, etc... I would not let her or I wear or do anything that would compromise safety.

Helmet is not a problem, Carolyn and I both have replaced our 2005 helmets (which I believe are still allowed, since 2015 are not out yet) and she is welcomed to use whichever fits her.

The HANS anchors however, have been removed from both and used on our new helmets. Can you source HANS anchors?

Thanks - no chance on the anchors though... appreciate the thought

I've got an XXL with anchors and enough funk in it that it could walk to the Glen on its own. Happy to bring it for YOU to wear

Is your car still street legal? Does it have the 3 pt belts? It sounds like this is her first DE, so if 3 pts are there, she should use those without HANS. Just MHO.

Michael, get OG Racing to send a set to your hotel (unless Mark is going up). There are already holes in the helmet, and I'll install them with us (I'll have the necessary Loctite Blue with me).
