Kind of a last-minute Halloween costume idea, thought I'd go as the Stig if I can find a cheap one. I can't afford a fancy Alpinestars or Sparco one, but if I could find a set of those mechanic's or pitcrew look-alikes I could get away with that. I have a white HJC helmet with a tinted visor already.

Anyone know a company that makes a cheap white one? I can only find blue, red, and black under $100.

I think the helmet is the major thing... Even if you just wore a white addidas track suit, and some pumas. I think you'd sort of need the A-star gloves and that iconic helmet as an imperative.

Ebay would be your best source but there is no way you can get one here in time.. maybe just a pair of white coveralls?:dunno:

You check winners? White pants are hard to find this time of year.

Meh. Pants are overrated.
Plus, you wouldn't have to hand out candy to kids, because none of them will want to come near you. Except the wierd ones.

Nope.... maybe I'll give it a try though.

I didn't think it would be this difficult to find any sort of white pants.... no sweat pants, no track pants, no white jeans, no hammer pants, nothing.

Would a set of white painter's coveralls work? If you could just get white painter's pants and a blue polo you're set to go.

Mark's might have something like this:

The painter suite would rock for speedracer. I got my hands on a set today but without a lot of sharpie-marker work it wouldn't look much like the Stig. Oh well, maybe next year.
