At 15 I put on my Webco black leather pants with yellow stripes when I got up and would ride in the car like that. Had some trick goatskin Hallman GP pants the next year but had matured to the point of waiting til I got to the track to get suited up.
How about you guys?

I wear my riding pants and jersey to the track just because it saves time.
Took my gear off between motos too if it was a long enough delay between races...
I'm old too. Had some real leathers....
I wore my Full Bore boots
Also my 14lb pants
His lid was about three sizes too big, and his mother had helped him fit a towel inside the helmet to take up space. He was afraid he would not be able to get it put back together as mom had it, even after we assured him it would not be a problem to get it situated again. He wore that damn helmet from about 3:00 pm to around 11:00 - 11:30 pm on a hot, humid ,sweltering Florida summer afternoon. From his house , to our place, to the track, helmet on ,only taking it off once the races were over.
He wore that damn thing about 8-9 hours straight.
Put these on at home for the ride to the track

I can remember gettin up with the sun and riding my KX60 around the trailers until someone woke up to take me on a trail ride ( I knew better then to leave the camp ground without someone mom or dad trusted).
I can say I am very fortunate in this life for what I have, but I would give anything, short of my family, to be able to have that love and passion again for just one more day.
In regards to wearing "leathers" to the track, that was before my time... My brother and I wore our gear to a little, (not so legit), practice track about 20 minutes from his house; 5:00am Monday, Tuesday, and sometimes Wednesday, during winter, (a So Cal winter), before he would go to work.
I couldn't drive a manual with my Alpinestars though.
These guys just hang around in hope of riding.
