Road racers! Awesome experience...

[Proj217]

Hey all,

 

So for a hopefully upcoming hillclimb with the 7 I needed to get a racing suit, gloves and shoes to prevent the whole possibility of being burned alive.

 

Pretty much with most racing gear you gotta just order online and hope for the best when it comes; there are only a few shops around the country that actually stock items like full suits, helmets, steering wheels, etc and they never seem to be anywhere near where ya live.

 

So when I found out there was a fully stocked shop an hour away from my casa I was pretty stoked. Driving Impressions in Dover, NJ has literally everything ya need to get going in road racing. Bob Zecca was a tremendous help with helping me find the best fitting suit, gloves and shoes that matched best with my needs.

 

Beyond that? The shop was amazing! 6000 sq/ft shop and warehouse full of racing goodies. For anyone who is a fan of road racing this place was heaven. Tons of cool autographed stuff around (Michael Schumacher's gloves, a letter from Enzo Ferrari). A pristine Lancia Delta Integrale in the showroom imported from Italy.

 

I know, I know I should have taken some pics...all in all though an amazing time, spent over 3 hours there shopping, seeing the facility and talking to Bob about everything from dogs, to his travels in Italy to of course - racing.

 

If anyone is in need of racing gear I HIGHLY recommend swinging by Driving Impressions in Dover, NJ.
