Huh!!!. You asked a question concerning fogged glasses. Mine have been fogging since 1975. A solution is air in the helmet, not a redesigned vehicle. Most cages have enough movement to allow the use of a helmet with a air duct on the left side; mine fits under the side 1" padded strap. Perhaps yours does not, I don't know. 

I did not invent this idea, I looked what was available and first saw it on Baja 100 vehicles and thought is was a good idea and would solve a problem I had which you seen to have also . All NHRA funny cars have a bottled air added to their helmets. It goes thru a small medical type tube into the helmet in a similar fashion. One of our competitors in a 300 MPH modified roadster uses this system. 

Maf...I have never left this message board. I respond with PM's on the Land Speed Racing site after being called stupid. I'm sorry you take offense at what I've suggested as one of many solutions to your delima. 

My father told me doctors made the worst pilots because the never listened to anyone and new all the answers. Perhaps this applies to race car owners and drivers as well. The jury is still out on that one, we will wait and see.
