Default Tech at Milan?

How strict is it? According to their website rules 13.99 and lower requires a helmet. My car is basically stock but that is low 13's. I would assume they don't care to much but want to make sure before I go there. I don't have a helmet which is why I ask. Thanks.

most places want you to wear a helmet. Just borrow one from a friend that has a bike/four wheeler or something.

Milan only requires it to be Snell 90 or higher, but for open track events you need the 2000. If I buy my own helmet I'd just get the 2000 so I could use it for both events.

You really should wear a helmet.

Tech is real loose at Milan though.

i got by with a snowboarding helmet
i think my heads stronger than it is....
i didn't even realize you're supposed to wear long sleeves shirts and pants, i'm rolling up there in shorts, a t-shirt, and sandals......
sometimes i'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer
just wearing a helmet and checking for a drive shaft loop(i only had the crossmember on at the time but they let it go) are the only things they've brought up to me.....

i didnt get to run because of shorts once. i'd advise at least pants, shoes, and a t-shirt for sure. But 41 lets me run with that all day long and they dont say anything.

Yeah, I'm used to 41 which is why I was surprised at the helmet rule. I know it's a good thing to wear a helmet and I'm going to buy one eventually. I just wanted to go racing this week, and I didn't want to drive to the track and get turned away.

You can rent a helmet at milan for $5. That's what I do.
