I spent a lot of the Mrs. HoustonNW approved race budget on the race car.

So I need a helmet, suit, HANS, and gloves before TWS.

Here is what I am thinking:

Sport Series HANS - no reason to spend $400 to save 1 lb. if I'm sitting down anyway, right?

Simpson Super Sport Standard Suit - double layer so a compromise between comfort and cost? I'm thinking that Simpson is a no-brainer choice, although this Sparco 3-layer just caught my eye.

Simpson PosiGrip Racing Gloves - I figure this is a learning experience, I buy inexpensive this time and know better next time?

Bell BR-1 Helmet - my Bell open face is legal for CMC but I don't think that I'll push the issue. Is this an inexpensive helmet for an inexpensive head? (I like that it is pre-drilled for the HANS clips.)

Since both of the suits above are SFI/5, I don't need Nomex underwear. I have shoes and Nomex socks.

Please reply with comments on the choices above, I can spend a little more if my choice is a mistake.

Assuming that I bring my typical Time Trial tools and spares, what else am I forgetting?

Thanks in advance.
