Mike, helmet requirements, Snell SA2010 or is Snell M2010 ( motorcycle ) good also. This is very important as the selection of SA2010 helmets is much smaller than one thinks. And SA2015's ( and I expect M2015's ) will be on sale shortly, maybe a month before the event.

they still have you listed as a private event on the MSP website. i would have that linked to your sign up page. the track is taking off and every club that comes there is blown away with the track. they still have some support stuff to finish but the layout is good with 30 acres of autocross space and the ability to run several track configs, some two at a time.
i just got word that extreme experience will be back in october. chin was there last weekend and they are already booked back. everyone that comes will love this track. take it easy in the morning and lay it to the wood son in the evening. last run on this set of tires video from last sunday. cold temps. the mustang wore out a set of NT01s in two days ouch. once i got to the mustang my stuff was done and then i was watching my mirror and couldnt get away from him. we talked and laughed at my save in 18 and he had made one in 6 earlier when i was behind him. the times were off because of conditions. for reference, anything under 2:30 is hustling the car pretty good. |

Man it's going to take me forever to learn that track. It feels like there are a million turns. I have bookmarked your video and will spend a few nights watching it as C5Fest approaches...

you will be fine. at first turn 12 is the biggest chance to tear up a car. its a blind hill but you can see the armco over the hill and it looks like a slight bend in the road. its actually two off camber turns that can even get the car almost airborn. the trick to 12 is to setup wide and lift and slight brake early. if you do that the rest of it is like a straight. overdriving the entry to 12 is where people get into trouble early. they have named turn 12 "deception".
the Porsche video might be better to watch. me and the mustang were struggling with the cold temps and wore out tires. it was 24 degrees both mornings. its a long way but if you can get up here and see it, you will feel better for august. even if you fly in or drive something else, you can do parade laps or ride. parade laps is how i learned the track. there were a few of the optima battery guys doing "research" at the chin event. |

I am hoping my car will be ready for the C5 fest, but I have a feeling it won't be ready till the 1st week of April. Thanks Michael

ill rig up the suction mount for a session or two. i prefer the incar for watching a video but the roof view shows the track much better. ill be at the 10/10ths event april 17, 18, 19 and then the NCM event is the next week like the 23rd and 24th. you can ride and do parade laps even if ur car aint done.

I'm so psyched for this event! Anybody know where I can get a cheap approved helmet? I've found a few on Walmart.com, but I can't find the right size for me (none in stock). I don't want to spend a lot right now since I'm just starting out with my track hobby.

I ordered mine from amazon before Christmas. Got a pretty good deal. So that may be a good place to look.

Every thing you are and everything you will ever be is protected by a helmet. I have never met a driver who as they were running out of track or talent thought to themselves, I am so happy to know I am wearing the cheapest helmet I could buy.

Those that have been off course and those that are going to be off course. Protect yourself with the lightest SA helmet you can afford to purchase. |

Dang Pete. Your post is a 2 edged sword. Great info & very true, but I think I am getting priced out of doing the track thing. Between taking care of my brakes & getting a helmet (My other one is only M rated) that is a lot of expense for a couple times a year.
