New Gloves!

Here’s another example of something that I didn’t really believe in…. a lot of the guys that frequent track days all wore gloves but I didn’t quite understand how wearing gloves to drive would be advantageous. When I received these from Narita Dog Fight (huge fan of NDF), I was still skeptical as I wore them and drove the car around some back roads. I felt a little disconnected from the steering wheel and didn’t really understand why almost everyone wore gloves out at the track.

Post Track Day Update:

• Okay…. I absolutely get it now. Initially I thought wearing gloves made me feel disconnected to steering inputs and controls but I actually found they gave me better grip and control. Another thing I found was that I think my hands were a little less fatigued versus when I didn’t wear racing gloves. Last but not least, I think it’s one of those things that make me feel a little more professional (at least looks wise) when saddling up and getting ready to head out for some laps ha ha ^_^
