OK, if you're going to buy racing gloves, how about racing shoes? Somthing that will make heal-toe easier?

^ Come in red, blue or black
I use them at the track, and just love how comfy they are.
Are the materials thick(compared to golf gloves)?
Thanks,

Dan

Go to Target or Wal-mart and pick up a pair of open-finger work out gloves. It's a whopping $15-$20 and does the trick.

go to a cycling store, get a road bike gloves, they have both types, open for summer and close for winter. pearl izumi and specialized are good brands, they are around 25 dollars.

Yeah, the bike gloves are a good idea, but don't they have rather thick palm materials?
For road bikes, I'd guess they need to absorb vibrations from the grips.
I'd like a thin leather palm just like those golf gloves where you can feel the slight vibration from the steering wheel.

Look up BIONIC gloves.
I really like Bionic's driving gloves. They have sizing information on their site that was pretty on the mark for me.

Alright, this is after the accident I had couple of years ago, but when I do group driving with my friends I get nervous sometimes and my palms get sweaty.
So what is causing the "nervousness"?
What kind of "group driving" are we talking about?

Don't let others goad you into driving beyond your abilities, your comfort zone, or your willingness to put yourself, others, and your stook at risk!

Peter Egan wrote about this regarding motorcycle "ride-outs". He was running on the ragged edge to keep up with someone, and when they stopped mentioned to the guy that he thought the pace was too great. The guy replied "ride your OWN bike, Egan"! Meaning, don't feel you have to keep the same pace as others, if it means driving beyond what are reasonable limits FOR YOU.

dunno if this is relevant in this case or not, just throwing it out there...
