Extreme Heat in NASCAR racing
In NASCAR we race in the most extreme conditions during the hottest part of summer in the south. The in car temperatures reach over 100⁰. You can imagine the amount of sweat that gets trapped in my base layers, Fire Suit, shoes and helmet. It is common to lose about 10 lbs. during a single race. The odor used to be unbearable to the point my family would dread the after race celebrations! In addition to that, my shoes used to smell like cat urine the next day! It was bad! I am simply amazed at how ElimiShield products have changed all that! My gear bag and all my gear always smells clean now! They are also so easy to use. I wash my Fire Suit and base layers with the laundry detergent. Then I spray everything down really well with the Odor Control Spray. I spray the inside of my suit, shoes, helmet, base layers, socks (everything that contacts my skin) a day or so before race day. I also wash my body with the Rinse Free Hair & Body before I get dressed and again after I sweat. It literally feels like I’ve had a shower every time! I spray the inside of my shoes sometime during the week before race day so they’re dry when I need them and that’s it! The shoes smell fresh all the time now! My son, Slate is starting to play little league sports too so we keep all his gear treated. His socks, shoes, pads, gear bags, uniforms and even the inside of our vehicles are always treated with ElimiShield. It truly has made our lives better! – Burt Myers, NC
