    WTB: Leather suit for track

    I'm interested in buying my first leather suit for my first track day, hopefully in spring of 2013. I'm tall and gangly: 6' and 150lbs. Doesn't have to be pristine condition, nor does it have to be pretty, just give me an honest description and pics. Thanks! Jesse jessevanderweide@yahoo.com
