Tip For Washing  Your Racing Gloves:

Put gloves on hands;  Wash in mild soap and water, rubbing hands together and interlacing fingers;  Wring out gloves to remove excess water;  Hang to dry.  Never machine wash or dry clean your gloves.


 Make sure your wife, or girlfriend, is not at home while you do this.  For some reason my wife thinks I should wash the dishes while I'm at it.

Hey Steve,

Thanks for the info about thread sizes, check the Kev links you've posted... there both same.

Hi Al,
 I was thinking of you when I put the glove washing post.
That kevs  site has some good info.  There are a few others I'll try to post also. Sorry about double posting.
 I've had my Grandson here all week. We've been working on his go kart. I hope it's finished next time he comes to visit. I think I'm more excited than he is.    I hope the proposed go kart track gets built. I'd like to get him started. Someone has to race the Dwarf when I get it finished.
 Anyway, I hope some of this info helps someone out. I know a lot of it is pretty general, but it doesn't hurt to review sometimes.

 Have a happy 4th,

 Steve
