the Indianapolis Star reports that Eddie will wear a black helmet at Gateway this weekend. Apparently his father designed the red, white & blue stars helmet, and Eddie is honoring his father who passed away this past week.

Sorry to hear that. His dad definately knew what he was doing designing that helmet. Of all, it looks the best IMO. Especially when the car is painted to match.Preserving America's oval track tradition:

I wonder if Cheever is going to wear an all black helmet or use the basic design of his helmet but in black....
Cheever's helmet design has that classic look to it. Even though it's simple... it's one of the better designs out there.
BAR F-1 test driver Anthony Davidson uses the same design as well... and I believe Ross Cheever does also.

Not sure what you meant Crispy, but AD is 23 years old. He somewhat used the same design Eddie uses; I don't know that he took the design from Eddie or not, but Eddie definitely didn't take it from Anthony.I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things . . . - Antoine de St-Exupéry

In a Speedvision interview with Peter Windsor prior to Hungary, the specific topic was discussed, and Anthony said he and his dad did indeed crib the idea from Eddie.</STRONG>I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things . . . - Antoine de St-Exupéry
