So what kind of helmets does everyone go with? Open face or one with a visor?

EDITS/ADDITIONS: 1) We will be using HOD's tech self-inspection sheet. We reserve the right to overrule a self-inspection if we need to for safety. 2) Brake Fluid: The Owners manual recommends a fluid with a 536º boiling point or higher. But figure on DOT4 minimum requirements or better. Many qualify (I, for example, use ATE 200), but ALL are better than factory-fill DOT3. It can boil on you at the end of a hot session. If it's older (1+ years), it'll boil all the sooner. 3) Helmet Requirements: Snell SA2010 or newer (full face or open face are fine) 4) Shorts and short sleeves will be allowed...it's just too hot that time of the year to enforce long pants and sleeves. 5) CLOSED TOE SHOES...NO BOOTS/"Timberlands", no sandals. I'd rather you drove barefoot! 6) ZL1 1LEs (I hope to see more than just mine and Ofer's on the track!! Manufacturer oil requirements for a track day is Mobil1 15W-50. Take that for what it's worth! BRING WATER, a CHAIR, and possibly some SHADE. We'll have water available, but bring your own, too - can never have enough! We'll also post a few videos folks can watch to familiarize themselves with the track/turns. Gosh - the more I talk about it, the more I can't WAIT!!! |

They are a bit harder to find with the Snell rating. I ordered one from Summit racing.

I was able to find a Simpson FR Cruiser for $118 slightly used on Ebay. Took a chance on it and it was in excellent condition.

21s are not best-suited for a road course just as a rule of thumb. There's a lot of rotational mass, and sometimes the tires don't have enough sidewall, like you mentioned. That said - you've got more sidewall than me, with my 19s!!
So I think you'll be just fine... |

Now I just need to plan a tune-up or two weekend before July. This funky weather is keeping my car in the garage. I am thinking the March NASA event at NOLA for my first tune-up. PCA has a February event, but with this nasty weather, I may not have my new shoes worn in by February.

Super stoked about NCM again this year! I had a blast and met a lot of cool people. I'm glad that the shorts and short sleeves announcement has been made....I was cooking last year in what I thought was the required clothing. Thanks for all the hard work Mods!!!
