No road course for me this year. I personally do have a Snell 2005 helmet, but she doesn't. We do have a couple DOT approved helmets though.

Gotcha. Those will be acceptable.

Things to make sure are in good order though, prior to tech:

Wheels and tires are 100% secure
No loose suspension components
No loose exhaust components
No leaks - Oil, Coolant, etc.
ABSOLUTELY NO loose objects left in the car Including:
Shit Dangling from the mirror
Things in cup holders
Air fresheners in the vents
Floor Mats
All cameras need to be hard mounted.

All those things in the car can become a rocket inside the car during Autox.

And your helmet. The following link is to the Snell Foundations approved helmet database. You can look one up or peruse at your own speed.

Anyone going to Cars and Coffee tomorrow. I'm undecided at this point. I've got a lot of other stuff going on lately.

Had a great time at proving grounds today. And it was good meeting some of you. I had the whiteout Fr-s with the black wheels. I couldn't get any runs faster than 33.04 on the autocross course but I'll be back tomorrow shooting for 32's.

Edit: Saturday: didn't think they'd be changing the course but I liked this course much better than friday's. overall I felt much faster and more controlled than on friday. Ran a best of 35.84 I think. Again it was fun meeting and talking to some of you. Can't wait to get more involved in the autocross community and keep improving.
