Default Help finding suit

So living in Richmond, Va SUCKS when it comes to finding a suit for a track day!

Honda House has none, Cliff's Honda/Yamaha no street gear at all, and Moto Europa has moved and their new building is not done yet, so they are in limbo.

Any comments on this suit? It's dirt cheap:

I've got to find something BEFORE March 8th, as I'm doing a track day on March 9th at VIR.

thats not a good suit for a trackday, its made for Supermoto meaning its not as thick and it doesn't have knee sliders

going dirt cheap on a suit is going to bite you in the *** before too long (meaning its gonna f'in HURT and there will probably be some extra hospital bills)

Get a good Spidi, Alpinestars, etc suit that is made for track riding

Check out this website: sportbiketrackgear.com They have a Hein Gericke Celtic 1 piece suit for like $550 shipped. Or they have Moto GP 1 piece suits as well. They have pics of guys with the suits on to it gives you an idea of what they look like when being worn. I don't have any experience in dealing with them, but it may be worth checking out.
