Anyone use Driving gloves?

This is random, but was curious as to how many of you guys use driving gloves when at the track. Iv seen alot of peeps with gloves at the track, and not really racing cars, just normal street cars like ours.

Knowing you with your uber weight reduction, if the track allowed it, you would probably race butt naked lol.

Chris how much does that goatee weigh? lol.

man im thinking with a clean shave, maybe a few ounces. unkept harley biker look, then maybe as much as 1 pound ? lol nice to point that out, if i ever get into another one of those 13.600 situations, then i need to bring a razor along.

man if dan and i lived in the same town, there is no telling how light the chariot would be. i dont have the skills or tools to do some of the cool things dan has done. Like that lightweight sunroof? how cool is that.

Well part reason why i mentioned gloves is that my wheels is a bit slippery, its all worn and there has been times that my hands have slipt. I might just be due for a wheel cover or something.
