Developed with the world's top drivers from Formula One and endurance racing, the ST6 reflects real-world needs at every level of auto racing.

With the Puro process, Stilo delivers the lightest and safest helmet on the market. Added Shell Size: now offered in three shell sizes, the Stilo ST6 auto racing helmet gives you the lightest and smallest shell size possible for your head shape. STILO ST6 GT HELMET PAD CUSTOMIZATION CHART Increased Airflow Design: by utilizing key partnerships with Formula One teams, Stilo has redesigned the ST6 front ventilation to increase airflow while maximizing safety.

Please order accordingly. Measuring Your Head For Your New Stilo ST6 FN Composite Helmet The most effective helmet is one that fits properly. To measure your head, have an assistant use a dressmaker's tape or a piece of string to measure the circumference of your head. Start at a point about an inch above your eyebrows, looping around the back of your head at the point that results in the largest measurement, and finally around to the front again. It's a good idea to take two or three measurements to make sure you have the largest one. This helmet will ship with signature required for delivery.

HANS-IV-FULL-FRONT-VIEW-IMAGE
Hans HANS IV Frontal Head Restraint $424.95
HANS IV Frontal Head Restraint Now offered in 3 different sizes, at a lower price, the Hans 4 is a new and improved FHR (Frontal Head Restraint) that is 10% lighter than the previous Hans 3. Custom molded pads which nest into the device, preventing slippage, were designed with an upgraded foam for improved comfort and support. Offered in a 20 - degree option, this FHR is perfect for the entry level driver across many race series. HANS Device 4 Head and Neck Restraints are the lightest HANS Sport Series device to date. HANS 4 Frontal Head Restraints present a contemporary approach to building a lightweight, strong, and safe HANS Device. Now in the fourth generation, HANS Device IV Head Restraints have a new design and polymer with a hollow collar which reduces the weight significantly. Its engineered reinforcements guarantee a very strong structure with a reduced mass. HANS Device IV Frontal Head Restraints provide the same level of safety as every HANS Device with the lightest, most comfortable injection-molded HANS made to date. HANS Device 4 Frontal Head Restraints are developed with ease of driver entry/exit in mind. Its rounded back is lower than the original HANS Device design, reducing the risk of getting caught on a roll cage or in window openings when moving in and out of a racecar. Authentic HANS Devices set the standard in top performance in lab crash testing and real-life race crash results. The HANS 4 is only available in a 20o Layback Angle configuration, suitable for the majority of racing applications including most road racing, HPDE, Stock Cars, Modifieds, Drag, Legends, Bandalero cars.  HANS SPORT 4 HNR FEATURES 10% Lighter than previous models  SFI 38.1 certified  Improved harness retention so belts will not slip  Custom molded pads nest in the device to prevent pads from slipping. Foam is a perfect blend for comfort and support  More available sizes to fit more drivers  3 Different Sizes – Small, Medium and Large  The best price on a HANS device on the market  Three different anchor options: Post Anchor (standard), Quick Click (SFI only), M61 (Sold Separately)  Includes helmet post anchors  Easy to use, no tether adjustment  Offered in both SFI / FIA certification allowing drivers to use the product worldwide  Unlike most entry level devices that are often bulky and uncomfortable; this new and improved design is lighter and more comfortable allowing drivers to focus.  High collar cut away made to not contact the wearer’s neck in rear impacts HANS IV SIZE CHART HANS SPORT 4 HNR FAQS I can touch my chin to my chest with the device on. Are my tethers too long? No. The HANS Device comes properly adjusted for all drivers. Unless you have changed the tether length it is fine and will work in an impact.  When I put the device on, it rubs against my neck. Is that normal?  Yes. The front of the HANS Device is narrower to accommodate arm movement. Padding can be modified or removed - it does not affect the device’s performance.  What type of shoulder belts work best with a HANS Device?  Any SFI or FIA approved harness system works with the HANS Device. Two inch or three inch belts, as well as 5-6 or more multi-point systems are all fine.  Do shoulder belts slip off the HANS Device?  Properly mounted belts do not slip off the device. If shoulder belts will not stay securely on the device, you may not have the belt mounts properly located in your chassis.  I race on a short track at relatively low speeds. Do I need a HANS Device?  Yes. Serious head and neck injuries happen at impact speeds as low as 35mph. On short tracks with tight turns it is easy to be turned almost straight into the wall.  How do I care for my HANS device?  HANS Devices need almost no maintenance but should be kept clean and dry. To protect them, HANS Devices should be stored out of direct sunlight. They may be cleaned with soapy warm water. Ensure rubber top surfaces stay clean and free of wear. Tethers should be replaced after any major impact or every 5 years. Tethers carry dated labels. Check your helmet anchors for tightness occasionally.  What if my HANS Device is in an impact?  HANS Devices should be inspected periodically or after any impacts. Examine your device in bright sunlight and run your finger around the edges. Any sign of de-lamination, cracking or exposed composite material means the device has served its purpose and should be replaced.  How long are the SFI and FIA certifications acceptable?  Different race series may have different rules regarding age of certifications. SFI 38.1 requires recertifying your HANS every 5 years, and FIA 8858 certifications do not expire. Check our website or your race sanctioning body for more information.

Girodisc A1-319 front rotors for Corvette C8 Z06 with OEM steel rotors from
Girodisc C8 Corvette Z06 Girodisc A1-319 Front Brake Rotors (OEM Steel Rotors) $1,550.00
C8 Corvette Z06 Girodisc A1-319 Front Brake Rotors (OEM Steel Rotors) Fitment: Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 Front with Factory Cast Iron Rotors For the Corvette C8 Z06 with factory Z07 carbon ceramic rotors, see Girodisc A1-320. This Girodisc two-piece floating rotor system is a direct replacement for the OEM cast iron brake rotors on the C8 Z06 Corvette. The Girodisc two-piece rotors will bolt directly to the C8 Z06 and work perfectly with OEM calipers. By upgrading your C8 Z06 brakes to these lightweight, high-performance replacements -- as opposed to a big brake kit -- your factory brake bias is maintained as well as your ABS efficiency. These Girodisc rotors are lighter than OEM pieces, reducing rotational and unsprung mass for quicker acceleration, sharper suspension response, and better brake feel. When used with Pagid or PFC high-performance brake pads and RF1 racing brake fluid, this Girodisc rotor system gives you an amazing solution to overheating, cracking and warping rotors. The central hat section of the disc is made from 6061-T6 aircraft specification aluminum. The rotor itself is manufactured from a proprietary cast iron, domestically sourced and made to the same specification used by professional racing organizations. The rotor's curved vane design was developed in racing and acts as a centrifugal pump to force cooling air through the disc. The rotor and hat are joined by a floating mount system utilizing 8-10 high strength alloy steel drive pins manufactured by Girodisc in-house, then cadmium plated for corrosion resistance. The alloy drive pins transfer breaking load while maintaining axial and radial float between the disc rotor and hat. The pins are secured by Grade-12 cap screws and hardened washers, mounted with anti-noise spring washers to allow for heat expansion while eliminating the rattle and noise typically associated with floating rotors. The two-piece Girodisc design allows for rotor-ring replacement as well, minimizing future replacement costs while delivering outstanding performance and cooling. Priced/sold per pair. Features: • Built for racing reliability and consistent performance • Compatible with demanding track environments • Designed for perfect fit and easy installation FAQs: Is this part track-proven?

CMS Performance Roll Bar for Mustang Dark Horse (2024+)
CMS Performance CMS Performance Roll Bar for Mustang Dark Horse (2024+) $1,895.00
CMS Performance Roll Bar for the Mustang Dark Horse (2024+) THE BEST ROLL BAR ON EARTH IN FORD'S TRACK MONSTER The CMS Performance Roll Bar is the strongest, safest, and most beautifully constructed roll bar on the market for the Dark Horse. In designing our roll bar, safety, strength, and structural integrity were our primary goals. That's why it is fully TIG welded from ultra-strong Docol R8 Advanced High-Strength Steel sized 1.75" diam x .095" wall, vs. the mild-steel tubing other companies use. Docol R8 is 30-35% stronger than DOM mild steel and even 10-15% stronger than 4130 CrMo steel. This allows CMS Performance to design a roll bar that is stronger and lighter weight. Precision CNC machined interlocking roll bar clamps, made to our specifications in the USA, make joining the main hoop and kickers easier during installation while giving the CMS Performance roll bar a premium, finished look. Adding an optional Shrader Rear Seat Delete Kit gives your roll bar installation a from-the-factory OEM look. AMERICAN MADE SAFETY FOR AN AMERICAN ICON Let's face it, safety is the primary reason to install a roll bar in your Dark Horse. So the CMS Performance Shelby Roll Bar is designed to place your harness shoulder straps at both the proper angle (0° to -20°) and distance to the driver.  The rear kickers bolt to a strong existing bulkhead, requiring no reinforcement plates beneath the floor pan. Our use of state-of-the-art Docol ultra-high-strength-steel tubing throughout allows us to keep the driver's rear view unobstructed by diagonal braces, which also keeps weight down. Every detail is engineered with safety and structural integrity as our primary goal. PRECISION CRAFTED AND CUSTOM FINISHED IN OEM COLORS The other reason to install a roll bar is because it really complements the aggressive, race-inspired styling of the S650 Dark Horse. We're gear heads, we get that. So each bar is crafted by hand by master fabricators, 360o TIG welded for the ultimate in strength and durability, and then custom powder coated in our facility (at no extra charge). We've color-matched powder to most of Ford's factory paint colors for a truly customized look1, or you can choose from thousands of custom colors and finishes like the amazing Superchrome, giving your Shelby a personalized look that will last. Going from raw Docol tube stock to a gleaming finish, every roll bar is handcrafted by our most experienced cage- and race car builders. Nothing is left to chance.

Bell Kart Racing Helmets – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Safety is critical in kart racing, and selecting the right helmet plays a key role in protecting your performance and well-being. If you're investing in your racing future, here's everything you need to know about Bell Kart Racing Helmets. General Helmet Questions What is the best helmet for kart racing?The Bell KC7-CMR is widely considered one of the best karting helmets, offering a carbon shell, Snell K2020 certification, and premium features for serious kart racers. Why do I need a racing helmet?Auto and kart racing helmets protect your head in high-speed accidents and shield against debris and, in some motorsports, fire. A helmet is the most important safety item you own. How do I choose the right size kart racing helmet?Use a flexible tape to measure your head just above the eyebrows and ears. Compare the result to Bell’s sizing chart. For step-by-step help, read our helmet fitting guide at . What safety standards should I look for in a kart racing helmet?Snell K2020 certification is the top safety standard for kart racing. It ensures rigorous impact protection. Avoid DOT-only helmets—they are not rated for motorsport use. Can I use a motorcycle helmet for kart racing?No. Motorcycle helmets lack kart-specific certifications and may not offer the impact resistance and ventilation optimized for karting. Always choose a motorsport-rated helmet. How often should I replace my kart racing helmet?Replace your helmet every 3–5 years depending on use. Replace it immediately if it has been dropped, damaged, or involved in an impact—even if no damage is visible. Are expensive helmets safer than budget ones?Yes, in most cases. Premium helmets typically use lighter, stronger materials and offer better ventilation and comfort—all factors that reduce driver fatigue and improve safety. Helmet Use, Fit & Maintenance How do I maintain and clean my helmet?Use helmet-safe cleaners like the Molecule Care Kit. Do not submerge the helmet. Clean visors gently with microfiber cloths to avoid scratching. Do I need to wear a balaclava under my helmet?A balaclava improves comfort, protects the liner, and wicks away sweat. Fire-rated balaclavas are recommended and often required in competitive environments. Is the Snell K2020 rating important?Yes. It’s the most widely accepted kart helmet certification in national and international competition. Always check your series' rulebook for specific helmet requirements. Can I wear glasses with my kart helmet?Yes. Bell helmets feature wide eye ports compatible with most prescription glasses and racing eyewear, allowing for a stable, fog-free fit. Are carbon fiber helmets better?Carbon fiber helmets are lighter and stronger than traditional composite helmets. They reduce fatigue in long sessions while offering superior impact protection. Can I use a used helmet for racing?No. Damage or aging may not be visible, and older helmets may no longer meet current safety standards. Always buy new from a trusted dealer like . Performance Questions How can I prevent helmet fogging?Use anti-fog visors like Bell’s DSAF system, or apply an anti-fog spray or insert. Keep vents open to maintain airflow inside the helmet during races. Why is ventilation important?Ventilation keeps you cool, reduces moisture inside the helmet, and helps prevent fatigue during intense sessions. A properly ventilated helmet helps you perform at your best. How do I store my helmet between races?Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a padded helmet bag—like the Evo Helmet Bag—to prevent damage during storage or transport. Helmet Certification Questions What is the difference between Snell K2020 and CMR2016 certifications?Snell K2020 is for adult helmets, offering top-tier impact protection. CMR2016 is required for drivers under 15, with a lighter shell to reduce neck fatigue in younger racers. Are tear-off visors necessary?Yes. Tear-offs are a must-have for outdoor karting. They keep your visor clear by allowing you to quickly remove dirty outer layers while racing. How do I know if my helmet is still safe to use?Inspect it regularly for cracks, fading, and loose components. Replace it after any significant impact or every 5 years regardless of use. Never compromise on safety. Can I customize my helmet?Yes. Many brands—including Bell—offer customization options. However, never drill or alter the helmet shell, as it may void the warranty and compromise safety certifications. Where can I buy a certified kart racing helmet?Buy from trusted experts like . Shop online or in-person at one of our retail locations across the USA. We carry all top brands including Arai, Bell, Stilo, and Schuberth—and support hundreds of race events nationwide.
