Also, a couple of people were curious as to where I picked up my helmet. I got it at
Santa Clara Cycle. It is SA10 (Snell Approved 2010) but it is a motorcycle helmet and is not designed for fires and roll cage hits the way a auto racing helmet is.
Here is the link to the helmet. However, it is also about 1/3 of the cost. It does meet the requirements in the NCRC checklist

I also have a room reserved with two beds if anyone wants to save a few bucks and split the room.
