[Vintage-race] drivers wearing watches

[Wm. Severin Thompson]

Was just watching the Indy 500 driver intros. Michael Andretti, and others,
wear a large chronograph watch. I've seen a number of other drivers in other
forms of racing do the same.

 

I always take my watch off before going out for a session. My thinking is a
don't want a large lump of metal strapped on my wrist. Sure, my fire suit is
designed to keep heat and flame away from skin. But, should I find myself
near a heat source during a racing incident, I don't want something that
will retain heat next to me like that.

 

What do you think? Agree? Disagree?
