Title: Van K wheels Post by: Ezone on February 14, 2011, 04:50:38 PM Sorry for sounding dumb, but when I look at the VanK wheels, what is the difference between the DC and CONE selections for the same size wheel. I was looking on their site and could not see a description/explanation. That means I should already know and do not.

I have seen some drivers with a wider black tape to hold in their earbuds. I have seen this used before in racing. I am having trouble finding this tape. Where can I buy this tape, who sells? Or what name can I search on the internet. Title: Re: Van K wheels Post by: streihawk8 on February 15, 2011, 02:26:47 PM +200 mph tape make sure they pat it bown on their uniform 1st. That way they don't pull their ear off removing the tape.

During multi-day events the skin around his ears that had the tape on would get so irritated from it. Now he just holds them in with his fingers while I slide the helmet over his head. One less thing to worry about in the hot chute.
Title: Re: Van K wheels Post by: Torgesen Motorsports on February 15, 2011, 05:07:12 PM I just bought these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004HMHW9E/ref=oss_product (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004HMHW9E/ref=oss_product) and was able to slip them behind the fabric inside the helmet. On my sons helmet there were slits were the straps went through. They slid right in and work perfect. Didn't have to cut or sew anything. Actually velcroed the raceciever right to a safe spot on the helmet so we just put on helmet and go. No screwing with wires or anything and buds cant fall out.
