How much time will we be required to work the corners if we are a driver. I am cool with it, but need to know so I can plan time around events and family?
Should I bring my windshield washer fluid for the other cars while I am working the corners? :iono: Will they tip? :bellyroll: |

Cool? |
What are the dates and times for both autox and drag?
|
3, 4 August........ Autocross will have AM session and PM session both days. I don't know about the drag lanes, but should be similar.

So another words if you are planning to do both Auto-x and drag racing youll need a Snell Rated SA2005/2010 correct? Because the rating is good for both events.
So something like this should be fine for both events corrsect? Disregard the helmet size :D http://www.jegs.com/i/G-FORCE/471/3021LRGBK/10002/-1 |
I don't have a sticker inside my helmet but I do have a Snell M2005 certified sticker on the outside of my helmet. It's a full faced motorcycle helmet. I'm assuming it will be fine because I've used it before, but wasn't sure if they'd give me grief since nothing is affixed inside the helmet. :iono:
|
can you have a passenger in the drag and autox events?
|
so i can use a M2005 helmet in drag racing where im going 120mph next to concrete barriers but cant use it in autox where I'm going much slower near rubber cones?
|
so a helmet is required on the drag strip, no matter what your times are?
|
Okay, now I am totally confused. :( I thought I had it, now,................well, not so much. I am resigned to buying a helmet. But some of the OP is over my head. So let's start with this:
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING Full-length pants; short- or long-sleeved shirt; closed shoes; and socks. No shorts. No tank tops. No open-toe or open-heel shoes or sandals. Synthetic clothing not recommended. Jacket and pants meeting SFI Spec 3.2A/1 mandatory in AA/S through M/S, AA/SA through M/SA, and in any vehicle running 11.49 or quicker. SFI Spec 3.3/1 gloves mandatory in any vehicle running 9.99 or quicker. See General Regulations 10:10. translation please. Do I just need to borrow my nephew's racing suit to be safe. Do we have to dress like that in the corner work? If so I will roast. At least with the suit I could just take it off & have shorts underneath if it is permitted. |
