Wow!
I just heard Kirby Chambliss state that they pull 10-12g's during the races!!!!!:isadizzy:

(Do they wear G-Suits) :ques:
 
I don't think they wear G-suits, but from watching those races, the pilots are only pulling those kind of G's for a very short amount of time, which probably allows them to just use physiological methods to prevent blackouts
 
I cannot wait for the future of this sport, I got to hear Mike G somethin, cant remember the last name, speak while attending embry riddle aeronautical university. He said they are gaining more and more corporate sponsorships, and hope to have the sport progress to a nascar level.
 
I watched a doco a while back, a WW2 fighter pilot said he used to limit the amount of blood flow from his head during dog fights by just tilting his head way over to one side, thus slowing down the blood flow. Don't know if they do that sort of thing ?
