It's natural that we bald guys would drive cars with little, air-cooled motors.

We're used to getting by with less and making the most of what we've got. Life presents few challenges if you've got an LS engine or a full head of hair.

Poor on top, rich below. We're more resourceful. We live by our wits. Dealt fewer cards, we play a shrewder hand.

I'm pretty sure the guy who invented the dry sump was a bald guy.

 

OK, here is my fav Speedstah Hat that my sweetie bought for me at Carlisle on year.  Really good visor (Brim, if you're from New England) and no top to the hat so nothing for that nasty low pressure area above the car to grab and pull it off your head.

PLUS!  It was signed by the speaker at one of our Carlisle Saturday Evening Award Dinners, Bruce Meyers Hisself!  He's been someone I've admired all my adult life and I proudly wear his hat!

I have a hat with a brim longer than a baseball cap.  It has a string in back with a clip that attaches to my collar.  A couple of times that string saved my cap when it blew off.

 

Sailors know about these .

They have saved me on SF Bay a few times, but I've never had to use one in the Speedster.

The Speedy's polar hat vortex is kinda like a swing axle rear end. You feel it getting a little squirrelly before the point of no return.

Eventually, you get the rhythm down. Heel and toe down a gear going in, light throttle through the apex, roll on power on the way out, tug back of cap going through 40 mph, slowly pull down on brim without upsetting front to rear balance.

I must have a fat head because I've never come close to losing a hat and I never drive 40mph.
