Looks fun! I don't think BMX helmets are allowed on track in the states. As a matter of fact, a lot of my events don't even allow passengers (cheaper insurance).

Yeah it was a motorcross helmet.
I didn't drive that fast with them and I was the only one on track when they were in the car. In fact i basicly had the track to my self all day
Yeah I've never understood the rule in the US about having your window down, what's the reason for that?

Ill post some pics of the cage later if you like, it meets FIA rules. Might make a different thread.

^Signalling distress and/or avoiding glass that is much more prone to breakage and causing massive destruction/trauma (also variation for clean up of such glass)

Class restrictions that the car is built for limits my rim width to 9in so im running 265/35/18 semi slicks
Suspension is Ohlins coil overs, the nice SPL stuff hasnt arrived yet.
The brakes are the big AP Racing 6pot front and 4pot rear and i absolutely love them! best part of the car.
