Skull Candy

the lighter side of DIRT

SKULL CANDY

IS THIS THING ON?

The late Bob Shryock’s helmet was unique in that it is wired for communication to and from the crew during the race. In 1977, Late Models at Alta, Iowa, and Fairmont, Minnesota, were allowed radio communication. This helmet was for sure used by Bob at the 1983 NDRA Super National 100 at I-70 Speedway at Odessa, Missouri. Photo: Chad Meyer

TWO-WHEEL TRIBUTE It’s not uncommon for dirt racers to pay tribute to their heroes with helmet schemes and throwbacks but Sheldon Haudenschild saluted a different kind of dirt track master with this replica of Ricky Carmichael’s famous motocross helmet.

LUCKY LINDY

Late model racer Tony Jackson Jr. pays tribute to Charles Lindbergh and his favorite city with this sweet scheme. “I’m just a Cardinals fan and live close to St. Louis. It has all the states on it we have raced and won races in.” Photo: Todd Boyd
