I wanted to begin a discussion of safety equipment for amateur autosports. There is a lot of gear and choices, both in price point and protection. A lot of it can be difficult to understand or size, more importantly it can hard to discern what is more important than the other and how it all works together. If you have questions, fire away! I will try to offer advice or point you in the right direction, add other pieces of information, and hopefully others will as well to help you protect yourself while having fun.
