anyone use golf globes (left and right together) as driving gloves?

i'm planning on going to the drag strip in october and was wondering if anyone has tried them on the track.

 

What purpose do the gloves serve? Do they make you faster? Does it make your car more responsive in turns? Oh wait you said drag strip.

You will hardly every see anybody at the drag strip using gloves. I only use gloves at the track when Im changing out my stock tires for my slicks.

 

Gloves really help me with my slice.

 

If you're taking a golf cart to the drag strip, by all means. If you're taking a Mustang, skip 'em.

And leave the driving shoes at home too.

And the bright racing suit.

 

Do make sure and take your helmet, gloves or not, you will need that if you car is faster than 14.0 in the quarter.

 

okay, thanks guys. just wondering in case people experienced hand slippage and if gloves helped. i've been to auto cross events but never been to a drag strip.

 

Grip it and rip it!

 

If anything i would expect to slip more with golf gloves, thats doesn't seem smart to me. Seems more like an old Asain lady. (If you live in SoCal you have probably seen this many times)

 

They wear a sleeve so their left arm doesn't become more tanned than their right arm. They don't wear gloves.

 

i have seen this too! haha along with one of those huge visors too

 

For you youngsters....Hurst used to make the "Swifter Shifter glove,to enable a better grip on the
shifter ball. This was back in '65-'66. Wish they would bring them back out...a nostalgia thing you know! As for driving/racing shoes...I recently bought a pair as they are lighter in weight,and give a better feel on the clutch and brake pedals,plus not as clunky as the typical sports/athletic type shoe.
Made a difference for me,for race days.

 

:gay:

 

The only people I've seen driving with gloves on are douches. True story.

 

How about these for racing shoes?
Doubt they are SFI approved though.

 

Nice shoes!! But I need the 6 toe version!

 

Hurst shifter glove....

 

Why would you need shifter gloves back then? Were the shifter ***** made of wet soap bars?

 

No....same plastic shifter ***** they make today. Just a cool marketing idea Hurst had then for a sweaty hand on the stick,awaiting the last yellow bulb to light!
Had a pic of Dick Landy running thru the gears,wearing the glove. Don't remember Ronnie Sox using one though.

 

I do get a sweaty palm driving this thing,sometimes!

 

Actually, your wrong. I know you trying to be a smart *** and all. But your wrong. They wear gloves all the time while driving.

LMFAO IVE SEEN THOSE BiG GREEN ViSORS TOO!! lolololol

^ The absolute gayest shoes ive ever seen. I saw a woman wearing those last week for the first time. Absolutely retarded.
