it does to an extent, I dont know of many racers who will wear crap gear on the track just for a few bucks, whereas guys on the street, thats a whole other story.

Some others may be able to add to this but a few years back the LRRS banned a certain type of hjc helmet due to safety reasons.

Every racer I know will wear anything they're paid to wear. Whether that means taking a good helmet and putting another brand's stickers on it...well that's a different question. You don't go poor racing for nothing!

exactly, contingency and sponsorships are KING. it costs an ungodly amount of money to run a race team and if a company isint paying to get their name out there you can bet you wont see their stuff represented.

id wear flip flops if it payed enough for me to race
