if you go 13.99 or quicker at gville you need a hemet

10.99 or quicker you need a cage.

As far as I know, they aren't that strict. They didn't check to see what kind of helmet I had on. They just saw I had one. It was a helmet i borrowed from a buddy. Not sure the name or specs of it, but it was a typical looking motorcycle helmet.

K i hope so i know OSw doesnt check hardly at all but were getting tired of the OSW troubles. so were going to start traveling to the other tracks. our time range from 12.5 to 14.0 at OSW between my friends and I. so we will need Helmets and thats It for Bradenton correct dont think anyone will be going faster then 12s.

13.99 or quicker needs a helmet Snell 2000 or newer (Snell 95 helmet expired 1/1/07). Every track is different on how strict they are, and I've been teched strictly at Bradenton and then not so much as well. Guess it depends on the night. If your motorcross helmet isn't snell 2000 or newer rated you may get screwed if they ask to see it.

roll bar is 11.49 to 10.00 in a non-cut-up coupe or t-top.

before you mod away, make sure you have the most important mod. protect your mellon!

i am going to assume you are young and think you cant get hurt in a low 13 second car....

I got the helmet so im working on the protection im just doing suspension now and thats it for now till i get done with school then ill work on the engine. yea i am young 21 but im not stupid either i know what the car can do and how much i can handle and dont try to show off and floor it all over the place. thanks for the concern i understand where you are coming from and i agree i would much rather be alive instead of bieng cheap and not getting safety equipment.

yeah would rather live then win a race or worse wreck. i learned my lesson two months after i got my car when i went off the road and almost hit a building i learned real quick how to just be careful and not do stupid stuff. plus i dont really ever race on the street if some one pulls up next to me i may race them up to 60 or just the speed limit then i just let out.
