Mark Skaife's X-Box head

Bomn · 16 Mar 2002, 12:46 (Ref:236401)

The cooling system on his helmet looks a tad dangerous to me. It puts his head closer to the steering wheel. Imagine the neck trauma in a big accident.

I wouldn't worry about it....

StuiE · 16 Mar 2002, 13:12 (Ref:236428)

the XBox like mark is a joke

Bomn · 16 Mar 2002, 13:16 (Ref:236432)

At least it made him look like someone famous

Wow thats spooky!
When did the Muppet show finish and HRT start?
Kinda like the one about Harold Holt and Humphry B Bear or Giddy Goanna and Bev Brock!

You want spooky

StuiE · 16 Mar 2002, 14:30 (Ref:236477)

hehehe

And I'm still not worrying about it...

Twenty years ago, when I heard Skaife roundly condemn the best WA team that ever went to Bathurst because of his ignorance, I formed a jaundiced opinion of him... nothing he's done or said since has changed that opinion.

The good bit is he's twenty years closer to retiring...

hey if the system works then fine I say , these cars get bloody hot and if this thing can bring your temperature down just a bit then it is worth using , ok it looks weird but if it works who cares.

StuiE · 17 Mar 2002, 04:47 (Ref:237054)

there is another reason to not like him

Amaroo Park · 17 Mar 2002, 08:50 (Ref:237115)

I thought maybe the nose had grown bigger and he need a helmet extension to fit it in

Amaroo Park · 17 Mar 2002, 10:02 (Ref:237275)

Haveing watched Skaifes victory speach I am amazed at how much sincerity he has. He real does have the sincerity of a snow pea

I only hope that all of these attachments don't slow them down from exiting a burning car... I think the older design would probably be more out of the way.

Bomn · 17 Mar 2002, 10:25 (Ref:237305)

I was more concerned about the fitting on the bottom of the box going through his chest in an impact. or detaching the box and poking his eyes out.

Morris 1100 · 18 Mar 2002, 12:41 (Ref:238316)

Yes if you saw the dumb shiela in the shielas race how her head bobbed down on impact (I wonder if she blew the horn with the top of her head!)

I thought Murphs looked more sinister

I rember about 10 years ago scrutineers at a race I was doing at Winton where picking on people for putting stickers on there helmets. I was wondering if 1, The scoop was approved by Arai and 2, If not how the hell did it get through scritineering

Crash Test · 21 Mar 2002, 09:14 (Ref:240680)

I'd imagine that they would be approved... they've been doing similar things for some time now.

Stickers on helmets? I've seen some god awful cracks and chips that have been attempted to be covered up... I remember at a V8 meeting last year, a certain driver had his helmet taken off him after the scruitineers discovered you could actually deform his helmet by hand, due to it rubbing for a few years in the car...

DAVID PATERSON · 30 Mar 2002, 15:02 (Ref:247385)

I wonder how tight the belts were done up on that sheila's car, a lot of people don't realise that a seat belt only works if it is tight, they stretch you know.
