Default We need a kills section here!

I want to hear about you guys kicking some butt in your corvettes, I know I will have plenty of racing stories to tell when my 06 Z51 6spd comes in. Why isn't their a section for this, or am I just missing it.
I know plenty of you guys like to drive fast, what's the point in having one if your going to GRANDMA it around all the time.

I heard that they got rid of the kills stories because of the potential liability.

Talking about helmet on. What is a good helmet for drag racing and autocross racing our Corvettes? I am in the market to find one.
Who sells them?

Go to the autocross & roadracing section. I also suggest buying in person rather than online, as the fit of the helmet is more important and you try different brands at once.
