Title: mouth guards
Post by: noslin on September 17, 2016, 10:27:40 AM

should a mouth guard be a consideration in case of tire shake or not a bid deal the teeth/head getting rattled a bit?   does it get severe enough to need one?

In the type of racing we do , shake has never gotten to the point that one was needed, and if it did,your problems would be swallowing it

LOL!!!!
I thought about getting one but after one episode of real Tire SHake he is right !! I have seen cars do it for years but YOWZER!!! It is hard to describe and yes--I agree --you might darn well swallow one in real honest to goodness shake--besides I like to yell at my help for last minute stuff :)

I know several TAFC drivers who use them but I have not had bad enough shake in my car, I have gotten headaches but nothing more than that
