[Teutonic Speedra...]

I bought a Terry Labonte racing suit today. It was a very good deal and I thought it looked really cool. It is only 2 layer Nomex, but should do the trick for what I'm doing, just running track days....so I'll be a bit safer than I was. It was only worn by a crew member during Speedweek 2002.

I had been searching for a Jeff Gordon suit for a few years, but could only find ones that are cut and in a frame. There are more Terry Labonte and Jerry Nadeau team suits at ompracing.com. They are about 5 minutes from where I work, and also have shops at Limerock, Summit Point, and VIR. They used to have a bunch of Roush suits too. I guess these Hendrick ones weren't cut right for most of the team members. It fits me fine though and is really cool. They originally were selling for $1200. I believe he said the cost was in the $800's His website shows them for $860? now....but he let it go for $500 the other day. He is no longer an OMP dealer and is trying to clear his inventory.....these are from Speedweeks of 2002. Worn 1 or 2 weeks only and then dry cleaned.

Give him a call! I'm looking at mine hanging in the closet right now....it looks awesome. He said a few people are going to wear them like me, but most bought them as a collectors item. I'd had my eye on them for a few years, but until my buddy was in the shop a few weeks ago, and the guy said he'd go low on them, I never knew I could justify one.
