Saying you don't think your car will run a 13.5 first pass is just plain lying...the tech. is gonna slap your *** anyways if you do it more than once...funny our track will rent you a helmet if you don't have one...check with the track officials. It reminds me of when the ricers don't wear their seatbelt becuase they can't lean up on the steering wheel before take off...hahahah! People get kicked off the track all the time for letting glamour or sheer DUH! get the best of them...safety should be the first thing on your mind.

I have never had to wear a helmet at lone star. best run i ever made out there was a 13.5 with a 2.6 sixty, the track sucked so bad that nite hopfully it is better when you go. My next trip to the track will be to san antonio.
