Advice for a complete noob
Hi guys,
I have a 2015 Auto C7 Z51 Stingray. I want to start going to the track with my brother who also has recently purchased a toy. My knowledge of the track is almost non existent.
What I do know is since I have an aftermarket power added I will need at least a fire jacket and obviously a helmet. Can anyone link me to a decent fire jacket and whatever kind of helmet I would need to run.
Most runs will take place at Englishtown Raceway Park and ATCO Raceway.
Any advice and general tips will be appreciated

A helmet and jacket will definitely be required no matter how fast the car is, but the bigger problem is that the rule is supposed to apply to newer cars that are unmodified (except for running drag radials or slicks) so you may be screwed if they take a look under your hood and see any non-stock equipment.

The new rules for "2008 and newer cars can run as fast as 10.0 without a roll bar (or cage)" unfortunately isn't applied equally at all tracks so it's hard to say exactly what you'll be able to get away with there.

I spoke to both tracks that are close to me and they said my setup will be fine. I just need to find the right helmet and fire jacket now and I should be good to go
