Racing
If they make me empty out my bed of the truck to do this it may take awhile with the list of stuff I plan to have with me. But I'm game.
What kind of helmet do you need? I have a Harley one that I use for the dragster golf cart!

It's a blast to drive. I wish I could bring it with me and show it off to! The truck sit's to low to haul it though.Retirement is better than I thought!

At the autocross I went to you had to have a Snell rated helmet 2005 or 2010. There are different types of Snell ratings. SA for competitive motorsports, M for motorcycles and K for karting. The other event allowed SA or M. I have an M. Think it depends on the facility and who is doing tech. HRPT didn't seem to have a strict tech at Gateway.

It looked like they had the AL SCCA running the auto x last time. Any SCCA club I've ever run with required a helmet to be from the 2 most recent standards (in this case 2005 and 2010) and to be M or SA. A DOT motorcycle helmet isn't necessarily snell M rated. I would say there are 5 things tech will typically look for. Battery tie down (bungies and straps won't cut it), firm brake pedal, wheels aren't loose (simple shake by hand test), loose contents of vehicle removed, and the snell tag inside the helmet (typically kind of hidden in the padding in the helmet)1968 Torino - DOHC 4.6L/T56 swap project

I went ahead and sent my entry in for the burnout record to the Hot Rod addy given earlier and they answered me very quickly that I was confirmed. Guess we will have to wait a little bit to see some results.Last edited by Thomasmoto; May 24, 2013, 03:09 PM.2011 Long Hauler
