Black would get mighty hot out on the salt.
I will wear a White Helmet ...
Yep Black will be hot... working on some space age thermal barrier for a headliner.
Also Cool Suit... also ducted A/C from pit vehicle...
In June it was 107 degrees with at least what felt like 1000% Humidity in my Vicky at Maxton,,, I was suited up and staged then shut down twice, once for a bike tossing some parts on the track, then another time for a last minute air pressure check of my left front tire,,, man it was hot,,, no cool suit, no A/C,,, just my big arse in a Black Car....yeah my head sock was ruined lol (I 'll get another one)
The Vicky has no overhead insulation at all,,, this had me thinking of fire proof options for thermal protection (insulation) and designing a ducted air conditioner in the pit vehicle to cool the drivers compartment while in the staging line,,
I am about done with the design,, have till June to Build and test it...
