Thank you Wade and Carrie for your support in designing the suit. Your service and support are outstanding. I'm really happy with how it turned out and can't wait to get my hands on it.

We're also very proud of Jason Lauritzen, who will be in PILOT by the end of this season, for finishing 8th in the AMA Pro SuperSport West Coast Championship! Not bad at all for only racing three of the rounds!!! Congratulations Jason!!!

Thanks Wade. We are close to being complete with our design and it is looking really good. Can't wait to get our PILOT leathers to sport for the rest of the season.
 
yep matt loves his new suit. Josh and the pilot boys did another great job.

Boys??? ...LOL... Matt Presting was fit by me (GRRL!!! ;)) and Wade at the Thunderhill ProShop Eric (talk to Matt!)...that's why the fit totally rocks! ;)

Insurrection Racing does all of the fitting for NorCal, Oregon, and Washington, at least if people want to get the best fit possible. We've got the fit suits on hand at the Thunderhill ProShop and ship out for fitting to OR and WA. Just a quick FYI... :)

Man, we'd love to do a sweet EDR suit!!! ...Get one of your fast guys in here and we'll do him up!!!

We're so happy that Matt loves his new PILOT suit!!! Love that red!!!

Wade and I are so happy that it looks like you'll be in PILOT Blaine...we think you'll be going super fast in The AFM for years to come!!!

Martin--It's been awesome to help!!! I can't wait to see you in the suit...we're aiming for delivery to Thunderhill August 26...! Awesome suit!

Im digging that design Martin. The amount of customization in PILOT leathers is incredible!

Blaine--The Ken Hill logos on Martin's suit rock!!! We can do this with any company that has vector art available!!!

:thumbup..good looking suit Martin!!

Jess--As nice as another PILOT suit that we designed, now in the possession of a total rock star and all-around awesome guy!!! ;)

Jason and I finialized our designs and we are super excited to get our new PILOT suits. Carrie and Wade were so helpful during the design process and spent a ton of time helping us decide what to do.
Carrie spent some serious time with me taking every measurement imaginable and even a few that weren't imaginable. :rofl Same is true with Jason, but they paid special attention to my measurements since girls are always much harder to fit than boys. This is my first custom suit and I am so excited to have Insurrection Racing and PILOT supporting us.

And Chris/Corey... those Dunlop patches are there for AMA races, the Pirelli patches will be what we sport 99% of the time. :)

Suit

Thank you to Wade and Carrie at Insurrection Racing for helping get the suit designs ready. Getting a suit designed is not as easy as you would think. Having people who can guide you and help with what will look good is really great. You want it to look great when the suit is wrapped around you and not just on paper. I found that suits look really different once they are on your body. Getting to try on some other styles and see the logos and lines was a huge help.

I recently had to ride in one of my old suits at the AMA races. Have you ever been completely happy with your bike and then someone lets you ride thiers. Yup, I tried on one of those fit suits and then had to get back into my old off the rack suit I bought years ago. The suit seemed nice, until I tried on a Pilot. After looking around on the AMA grid, I noticed most racers are in Pilot. Must be a reason!

I look forward to giving a review of the suit when I get to ride in it.
 
I can't wait to see these suits on Jason, Jenn and Martin!!! One of the main perks of my job is working with people who are new to PILOT and are excited to get into an incredible custom suit!!

I also get to meet racers who have been long-time PILOT customers and have a lot of love for and pride in their PILOT suit!!! Here's a couple of pics from one of those PILOT racers, Fredrik Alkdal, AFM #84, who took a slide at Infineon back in April from the middle of 10 and 11, all the way past 11 up to the NASCAR lane!!! That's one long slide!!! PILOT's external overlaid alloy armour saved both his suit and Fredrik's a$$!! The side and back of the suit that took the slide had some superficial scuffing and a little bit of decorative leather pulled away, but no damage to repair! PILOT's overlaid armour and advanced seam system completely did the job, and it's safe to say that Fredrik is one happy PILOT customer!

Very cool Ducati suit for CMRA racer Sheldon Devantier who rode at Thunderhill a few months ago. Some silver / chrome #30 accents and arm stripes really made this suit! Sheldon's going to love this suit to go along with his Insurrection race gloves, which we just shipped him today!!!

Crashed to hell in my PILOT suit. I'm so bummed. It's my favorite suit, EVER! The suit held up very, very well, but could use some cosmetic restoration. Can Carrie restore it?
