DLSJ5 · 02-14-2010, 05:27 PM

If I can I plan on going as well!

Ca$hOnly · 02-14-2010, 05:49 PM

Are you guys running your nice wheels or putting on track beaters? Sard, are you going to raise your car up for this? I'm thinking about going but I only have my 20" HRE's and my car is slammed. Not sure if that'll work very well on the track.

aus · 02-14-2010, 06:17 PM

If you need a helmet, check out this place. They carry a LOT of stuff in house. They'll run back and get pretty much what ever size you need.

http://www.extremesupply.com/Helmets...Automotive.htm

I got a Bell Helmet for aroudn $250. It just depends on what you're willing to pay. The guy there said they're all pretty similar in safety, so it's mainly how they fit.

Updated the link with the automotive helmet section.

If you don't want to buy a helmet you can rent one at the track for $30.

Just an FYI, there's a gas station on the way to the track on the right side just as you cross over the freeway. It's pretty big.
