Mike Anderson raced his Rock Vest Datsun Roadster at last weekend's David Love Vintage Race at Sonoma Raceway. Here are a few shots and my report below:

Love the photos Alvin!

FYI here is the 360 view of the race. Watch on the Youtube app and get ready to look around..

Mike,

I meant to ask after seeing another of your videos, does the lip on the top/back of your helmet help stabilize your head? I feel like my head is being pushed up and back at higher speed and it seems that lip would put even more force at the back side. As usual, car looks great!

Thanks

Between the lip hanging off the chin, and the little spoiler, it makes the helmet SIGNIFICANTLY more stable in the air above 100 mph.. My other helmets will buffet and shake at high speeds. It also allows for me to more easily hold the helmet straight in a crosswind. The full round helmet tries to twist when getting hit by a 25-30mph crosswind, which is not uncommon at both Willow Springs or at Auto Club Speedway..

The 360 degree video is very cool! Car looks like a lot of fun and sounds tough !

Interesting, though the camera's semi-inertial wandering was somewhat disconcerting.

This is awesome, thanks for posting!
