Who in the area sells gloves, driving suits, shoes and the like, all appropriately fire retardant? In particular, I have a hard time finding gloves that fit well, so mail order is not the most convenient.

Chris,
Dougherty's has Alpine Star gloves I think. I picked up a pair @ VIR and I really like them.

Ok who sells Toyo proxies RA1 locally?
Yokohama doesn't make my beloved A032 anymore so I'm looking for a new favorite tire.
Rims are 7x15 (4) and 7 x 16 (4)

Hey, get off my thread! That's not racewear.:X
To answer your question, though, locally you can get RA-1s at CJ Tires. Their Birdsboro warehouse stocks that tire, or at least they did last year. I had to get my last tires from Bob Vilven, though, when CJ's stock went low.
My next tires will be Nitto NT-01 from Discount Tire online.

Hi Jim,

Which CJ's locations are track-tire-knowledgeable? I know they have sponsored some of our events, and I know the shop in Collegeville knows how to balance wheels properly, but I went to the one in Phoenixville 2 weeks ago, and they were putting rim weights on my Acura race wheels. I explained to them "no" but they still didn't get the balance right, I had to get them re-balanced at the track.
I think the other locations may be fine, it may be just this one location that doesn't know how to do them.

Chris you are TOOOO gracious! What do you really think?
Wally: Thanks for seconding the CJ's advice I'll call in the morning and remember to mention the RTR connection.
Tires ARE raceware - The Michelin Man will disagree with you!
Lou I am 100% behind you on that one!
Darren, seeing your note, I guess I'll go with the 16's since the 15 are more "balance challenged".
