Face mask guys.
I used one of these for years before pinlock

If your Helmet manufacturer doesn't make a propoer one for you lid try a universal one.This plain neoprene one is quite comfy and diverts your breath away from the visor.
They can be a bit of a fiddle to get right but better than what you are suffering with.

i did a track evening last year cad. For some reason i ended up going on the rankest old pirellis (about 10 year old and rear was square). It monsooned on the way and i hated(still not keen) road riding in the wet.

I turned out to be a really good session.

Cadwell has a really good surface and even the teflon tyres had a some grip all be it a bit squirmy


must be awesome with stick tyres wets..... if you have the balls to lean on them right
