Don't sweat the helmet ... If yours isn't up to snuff come find me and I'll let u borrow one of my extras. I'll make sure they are in my trailer. Pewter 99 Vette, pewter suburban pulling white enclosed trailer. My name is Kyle... please feel free to come over and I'll hook u up...

Weather will be great for a September day. Looking forward to meeting everyone.
BTW- My helmet is a SNELL APPROVED M2000 that has been scrutinized by an unnamed overzealous tech guy at our local track which shall also be unnamed and was found to be compliant with current regulations.

At least I still have some of my manhood left. Yes it is removable and in my wifes purse. You can use some of my manhood if needed for friday so your not scared to put your c6z into the 9.s. If not I talked to Mickey Mouse and he said he will do it for you. But he asked if he could borrow your helmet as his is a touch tight.

Lmao ... Everybody going to the rental Enjoy yourselfs, Be safe and listen to Gary and Rob they can definitely help most out ...Somebody needs to keep an eye on Kyle also ..... J/k last time i missed a rental you kicked ***.

1) Damn, that food is looking good!

2) Gary, I think I know who ya mean I too have been thoroughly inspected.

3) I was recently tech'ed by an over-zealous tech (Atco) who said I needed SFI 45.1 roll bar padding to replace the purple foam padding I had in one spot (to the left of my head).

The NHRA padding rule is interesting (It says "Y")... But: Do you need it or don't you (cars quicker than 9.99)? Some say "If you use it, it must be SFI approved", Others say "You must have it anywhere your helmet may come in contact with the bar/cage", and some say "If you don't use it at all, that's ok too".

I have all SFI 45.1 high density padding where my helmet may come in contact with the cage (just to be on the safe side).

I've also heard the window net expires in 2 years, same as the belts. I'm all good with being up to date, but never thought someone would check the date on my net: But, they have.

Most of this doesn't apply until you start getting into that "quicker than 9.99 / over 150 mph range." But, always good to share experiences: It sux to get to a track and be turned away for a tech violation.

Forgot to mention: Some of you know this story... I once got into a pretty good argument at Island with Tech. They guy asked if I had a Driveshaft Safety Loop. I replied that I had a torque tube. He told me to stop wasting his "effing" time. I ended up sending them photos from under my car, which they then sent to the NHRA. After weeks of back-and-forth, they replied that they did not know about torque tubes and that I could tech in and apologized for the language used towards me. I now have a loop around my torque tube (the "tamer") but have not been back to Island in a few years.

I'm glad to see that someone is a literary scholar. Hope that you can take some great video footage as always. We just need to supply the action.

Yep, it's my general swill. Sure beats Rocky Mountain Koolaid, or Buttweiper.

However, tonight I do believe I'll be enjoying some Sam Adams Octoberfest, while tending the ribs on a glorious cool evening.

Damn, I might show up just for the food...

I'm on a trip and won't get home until about 0300 tomorrow morning. Can't run the car, but I might find some time to come watch a bit - if I wake up in time...
