Do I need a helmut ?
If your Z runs 13s, then you would need a helmet. With this sort of weather, that should include everybody.

There are specific requirements the helmet needs to meet, but motorcycle helmets will suffice.

Since the track is Dallas Raceway, keep in mind that they will not have loaner helmets. You'll need to bring your own.

I am looking at a dealership in IL, no one around here has an 04 DB 6spd for 13k
Haha, you know I'm kidding, dude. You're one of 3 people who used to come out to the drag strip with me so you know you have my respect. You still need to come out more often, though.

I like your choice in color, btw.

Last time I went, it cost me $25 to get in and race all day.

You will need:
-long pants
-closed-toe shoes
-shirt
-helmet (for <14 sec)

Quick question for my fellow DFWers -
I'm new to audio mods and was wondering
a) If I was going to get 2 Kicker CompVR subs if I should get the ones with 2ohms or 4ohms?
and
b) What would be the best amp to get for them for a somewhat-low price?

Thanks

It all depends on what amplifier you're getting. You can get either 2 or 4ohm subwoofer as long as your amplifier puts out the right output @ those ohms. I'd recommend two 4ohm subwoofer so you can wiring them down to a 1ohm load. Then get a monoblock amplifier that does good rated power at 1ohm. What's your budget?

So the price of an amp to power the 2ohm subs would be cheaper? If so, what would be the best amp for the Kickers at 2ohms?

What made you go with the Kicker subs? Not sure what price you're looking at but Kicker ZX amplifiers are popular..JL Audio, Alpine, Zapco, Memphis, Sundown Audio, US Amps, DLS, Audison, Arc. Just depends what your budget is.

I'm planning on going to the track shortly after 1. I have some lunch so I'll be a little late. I have an extra helmet if needed, since I don't plan on breaking into the 13's anytime soon. It will be fun to see what happens in colder weather, less gas, and with my mods.

Yeah those were the ones I was looking at and they're perfect! My budget for an amp is between $120 - $200 preferably, but I can raise that if need be.

Look at this sub/box setup. Priced great and I've read so many good things about this company. They also recommend an amp and link you to it.
