Longacre Racing Products Roll Bar Padding

Longacre Racing Products Roll Bar Padding: Race-Proven Driver Protection

When it comes to cockpit safety, few details matter more than the padding wrapped around your roll cage. Longacre Racing Products — a brand founded by Jack Jaynes in California in 1978 and later headquartered in Washington state — brings that same commitment to engineering precision to their roll bar padding lineup. These aren't afterthought accessories; they are purpose-built safety components designed for the rigors of real competition.

A Tiered System Built for Every Part of the Cage

Longacre offers distinct roll bar padding solutions engineered for specific locations and protection needs inside the cockpit. Their High Density Roll Bar Padding is the flagship option: it offers the maximum in energy absorption and flame retardation. Critically, it will not drip or melt in the event a fire does occur — a feature that matters enormously in any racing environment. Longacre High Density roll bar padding is self-adhesive (pre-taped) for a quick and clean installation.

For areas of the cage where sightlines are critical, Longacre's HD Mini Roll Bar Padding offers a smart alternative. The High Density Mini roll bar padding has a streamlined shape to focus the padding where you need it, improving sightlines and reducing blind spots due to its narrower design. This roll bar padding is lightweight with a sporty appearance, and it provides maximum energy absorption and flame retardation.

ProTecto 180™: Advanced Micro-Cell Technology

For arm and leg protection on bars where a driver may make contact during cornering or an incident, Longacre developed their proprietary ProTecto 180™ padding. The ProTecto roll bar padding employs a manufacturing process called Micro-Cell — gas injected into the hot resin during the extrusion process creates tiny, uniform cells that make up the material, providing much better cushioning ability. The inch-thick ProTecto roll bar padding has a flame-retardant base with an offset hole so you can put the padding exactly where you need it.

Complete Coverage with the Roll Bar Padding Kit

For racers outfitting a new cage or refreshing an entire build, Longacre's Roll Bar Padding Kit bundles the system together intelligently. The kit includes a combination of High Density full-size padding for around your head, Mini Padding for posts where line-of-sight is important, and ProTecto 180™ for arm and leg protection. This tiered approach means every section of the roll cage gets the right type of protection for its specific risk profile.

Trusted at the Highest Levels of Racing

Longacre Racing's HD roll bar padding is used by many Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series teams, a testament to how seriously the brand takes the safety demands of professional motorsport. Whether you're building a weekend circle track car or a dedicated road racer, Longacre's roll bar padding lineup delivers race-tested protection with straightforward installation.
