fan to cool me off

[bixblk]

Happy Thanksgiving to all
Quick question, where can buy a small 12 volt fan to cool me off as a driver. In the summers in Chicago it can get hot and I was thinking about installing a fan on my dash to get some air moving around in my "cock pit ;), anyone know where I can get a fan to stay cool. Are there any that are better than others ?
Thanks,
Jeff M.

I picked up a couple at Wal-Mart back in the spring to use in my RV. Go back in automotive section and they have a whole area full of RV accessories.

That's what I use in my cars.

Something else to consider is a fresh air helmet and airpump system. Just cooling the brain cavity will increase the comfort level waaay up there ! I use one in addition to the external air moving device. Speedway Motors is a good source.

bixblk,
Something you might also want to consider. I use a cushion that my wife bought off QVC. It's got some type of chemical in it, your body heat activates it. Between rounds I put it into my ice box, it must stay under 70* to work. Sometimes I put it behind my back, sometimes I sit on it. It works in South Georgia's summer time heat very well. I bracket race a s-10, we all know how hot those enclosed cars can get. dgh

Keep in mind this is an open road racing car ( Silver State Classic,etc - 90 miles at 150 plus)
Those are 'leg boards' and serve 2 purposes.
1- gives you something to rest your legs against on long straightaways and to hold you in place on hard corners.
2 - In a violent barrel roll, if you are not contained in a 'pod' your legs can end up in places that might be embarrassing and painful !
