Mido only runs their own days. You want the leathers somewhat snug but keep in mind if you plan to put a back or chest protecter (at some point in the future) in they may not if the suit is too snug without them. From the mido site on the boots. All riders must be at least 18 years of age and have a valid driver's license. Damage free DOT or SNELL full-face helmet with face shield. Riding boots that fully cover the ankle. Gauntlet style gloves with full wrist coverage. One or two piece leathers. Two piece leather suits must zip together for intermediate or advanced groups. Ballistic nylon suits such as Joe Rocket, AeroStitch etc. are acceptable in the Novice and Intermediate Group only provided they are either one piece or zip together with at least 50% zipper contact with reinforced and padded shoulders, elbows, hips, and knee areas. No chaps. Advanced and Intermediate group riders MUST WEAR A BACK PROTECTOR. Soft back pads sewn into suits are not enough. No back protector = no track time! LEATHER RENTAL: Leathers can be rented from The Mid-Ohio School for your trackday. Leathers are available in sizes 40, 42, 44, 46 and 48 and provided by Tucker Rocky. Unsure of what size you need? Visit ssgear.com, go to the men's sizing chart for race suits and compare your measurements as illustrated on the chart1 point

It is the genetic equivalent of dividing by zero. Anyone within range of a swung dead cat will have their souls sucked into a freckle filled vortex of unending doom. Methinks it is the slingshot effect of this vortex that makes these two soul thieves so fast.1 point

some of you sound like old ladies, blah blah blah, those roads aren't good enough for me and my bike and such... I don't ride for any "type" of road, I ride because it make me happy, end of story. I'd make that 270 loop with you some morning if you organize something.1 point

60-65 is fine, but I can promise you that if I was pulling with my F350 diesel and the same setup as you have now, you'd never see me. I could maintain the speed limit with ease and run where I normally run at 70-75 again with ease. Again, you can pull anything WITH anything. It's just how efficient it is while doing it. Yes, the load levelers and such are to be expected when running close to max capacity. You can freakin pull 10k pounds with an F150. Wouldn't advise it, but can be done and if a weekend warrior where you pull as you mentioned, 5% of the miles a year, you probably have no issues. We ran over 15k miles a year while racing for at least 4-5 years straight. Pulled several sized trailers. We never pulled a 37 footer, but we had some larger trailers at max capacity. If we had tried that with an F150 of today's standards, I would have been over it by the time we got back from Texas. It isn't about bigger trucks and it certainly isn't about one ton vs half ton. What it is about is the weight of a trailer being pulled from the back of the truck. That weight and strain it causes on a truck over time will show itself sooner on a smaller capacity truck vs a larger capacity one. Again, do what ever seems to fit your needs. If you pull to a local camp grounds or once a year through the mountains and running below the speed limit and in one gear lower to pull the hills, cool. I personally won't be doing it as I would have a larger capacity truck with a better motor running a comfortable pace up and down the mountains... I have a V10 right now with a 17' trailer where we have it fairly medium to heavy at times depending what bikes we are hauling and where, etc. The V10 pulls fine. Can run 70-75 with no issues. However, same trailer with the Powerstroke and it is night and day. Again, the V10 doesn't have any issues, but unless you've pulled with a proper vehicle for such tasks, you cannot really ever compare as they are so different and the stress you have while pulling with an inferior truck is also something to consider. I miss my diesel and anything I get in the future will be diesel. And I've pulled with a Tundra, F150, F250, Chevy 1500, 2500 and F350s and Chevy 3500s. Motors like 302s, 351s, V10s, Powerstrokes, Duramax, etc.,etc... There's no doubt that they all can do the same job and even be put into action with a trailer heavier than they are rated for. But, there are a few that do better than others and when the maintenance comes into play, you will see what I mean even on that part of it. Not to mention the space and area. You need to consider that also in these fun movers, toy hauler types rigs. It all looks awesome on paper until you have to use it... As they say with building a barn or shop building. Always go bigger than you think you'll need as too often, you end up wishing you had more...1 point

Id rather the rep have a reason. To get rep because you yourself don't know common terms is crazy. I neg rep myself I guess for thinking people on a racing forum should have some auto knowledge or at least listen to those that do. Oh and I spell wrong a lot but I don't care because its. Racing forum not spelling and gramr! See what I did there1 point

This car has not been de-modded. I know the history of this car and have talked to the original owner who built this car. It is not the car that someone thought was from Texas. Do you know how many red firebirds are out there? Anyways The white car ran good but would not hook up at all. The new car is a totally different car than the jalopy. I cant argue with that term because, well it was a jalopy. Red LS1's are awesome and 50k turbo beatles make me laugh. Dont get turned in to a red ls1 sammich. The face hate is still strong with this one .-1 points
