Does anyone remember wing hats? Some friends came home with hats with a real small aluminum wing on them they bought at knoxville @early eighties or so. I was hoping someone out there still has one and can post some pix of them so i can show them to my son. thanx all...

I used to have one of those winged hats got it in 1998, but they were made from Lexan. it melted in the car on a hot day. Can't find them anymore.

Was this more what you were asking about? I'm definitely no photographer, but this is one of the Steve Kinser hats our Dad bought�for�my brother and me back at the Nationals about 1984-87, not exactly sure-I was abo ut 7-9 years old back then. Hope these help.

The original wing hats were made by Ricky Weld and Steve Stealey in 1980. Wing was alum and pop riveted to ball hats. I still have the 3rd one made.

I still have the original wing but I took it off the ball cap and remounted it on an open faced helmet. I used the helmet at a dirt go kart race and was disqualified for cheating. They considered it an unfair advantage. I had a good laugh at the officals albeit with a sore neck. The sonofabitch grabbed some air and damned near pulled my head off.
The only time I ever used a wing!

That's hilarious-I guess it's safer to run non-wing helmets! I can't believe they DQ'd you for that- must have been a strict dirt go-cart sanctioning body!!

I realise that some time has passed on this topic, I am just wondering if anyone still has a winged cap for sale? or knows where some are being sold??
Kind Thankyou's in any case.
Tom.
