This highly experienced racer was getting ready to launch his convertible Mustang and it’s a good thing he remembered his helmet, as those cars are insanely powerful and require the deft touch of a seasoned pilot to get them from the starting line to the stripe under power. This is the kind of guy who has done this hundreds, nay, thousands of times before.
Seriously, if this doesn’t make you laugh, you need to find a new hobby.
Good thing it wasn’t a full face helmet!
Well, at least it wasn’t face first.
He also demonstrated the fine art of rear wheel staging.
Ford…..who’d of thunk?
Sheesh. It’s an epidemic!
I get better visibility this way…
I can smell the christmas tree air fresheners better this way…wow!
You should see him put a set of overalls on! it looks like a squid mating with a log!
The scary thing is I have seen this happen DOZENS of times at the races. For a rookie, this is probably the single greatest reason for getting a full face helmet. If you can put one of them on the wrong way you are working way too hard at getting your helmet on. LOL
I don’t see the problem, he obviously has it on in the same orientation as his brain.
what? he is a mustang owner..
anyone who puts on a helmet like that must be a sweet driver!!!
Look … It’s the new French military helmet!
Thats why most of us guys over 50 have visors…
It looks like that new Bass Ackward Helmet
Is it still SNELL approved worn that way? LOL
Love your post Chadwick! HAHA
