^^^^yeah, i checked the website a few days ago and the rules are pretty much the same, i just don't want to go dump a couple/few hundred on a new snell helmet. If my helmet doesn't cut it i will borrow someones or just make 1/8 mile passes till i can get a helmet, i highly doubt my car can run a 8.60 on T1Rs.

11.99 - 13.99 = Snell 95 or newer, or SF1 31.1/31.2 helmet
> 13.99 = No equipment needed

Track rules may vary. But note that a DOT helmet is NOT what they want to see if you fall into those ET classes above. A DOT helmet does not have fire-proofing built into them. Snell/SF1 certified helmets do. And this is what they care about.
They want to see a SA number NOT MA. MA is motorcycle and they aren't fireproof. They look inside our helmets here at Infineon to make sure they aren't motorcycle helmets.

If it rains, should we all move the list to the 17th?

If it rains, I'll start a new thread as this one's too cluttered. It'll probably be the 17th or 24th. I vote for 24th since I get my tranny related issues fixed early next week.

I just want to see how high i can get on the top 25 1/4 mile times for bolt on cars...and they don't care if you had slicks or wooden wagon wheels.

You can assume around .3 second less with proper tires/wheels in the back.

Why are you guys talking about the 17th already? We are still on for Sat. right? A few clouds are not going to stop us is it. When will we know if the track will be open?

I will update this thread tomorrow, after calling the track if they're going to be open or not. I already called them this past Monday (fearing rain), and they told me the earliest they can tell me would be Friday. Check for my post in the last page or just the first post, as I've been updating with every added info.

Anthony, that is great news to hear.. And I take it that the girl you told me is also coming?

I also have some things to say:
Good news: I just called the track and they said the track will be open tomorrow (Feb. 10th) as there's almost no chance of rain during the day. There's slight chance of rain only late at night, so we are good to go!

Bad news (for me): I might not be able to race since my arms are completely useless. I'm still going, though.
