We can make it work! :beer:

[sailsmen]

That probably will not work, based on they way they did tech in the past.
I suggest you contact the track in advance.

Been through specs there quite a few times. We should be good to go! ;)

[sailsmen]

Good Luck. Hope everybody gets to run.

[jwibbity]

i would love to run, ill pitch in for a group helmet!!

[1 Bad Merc]

Thanks for the heads up on the rules Chris!

[sailsmen]

It is better to get a helmet that fits, an ill fitting helmet when you need it is not a good thing.
A member wrecked his MM at the track and was very glad he had a proper fitting helmet.
They are not that expensive compared to what you spent to get your MM to run fast enough to need a helmet.
Good Luck with passing it around for Tech and in the staging lanes. I would rather be focused on a good run.;)

[Shaijack]

Billy you going to ATL?

HOOHA! Fire jacket only required if running NOS, that means I don't need to bring the coveralls.

Will need a helmet, though.

I am late to this thread.

I will look at home and see what helmets and jackets I can bring. My helmet(s) are Large if I recall correctly, cause I got a big tater.

As I told Chris last week about something else, if you borrow it and don't return it, you will hear from my attorney....

Is AMS going to require helmets and jackets?

[SC Cheesehead]

Is AMS going to require helmets and jackets?

All drivers running vehicles 13.99 or quicker MUST have a full face helmet meeting the SNELL 2005 rating.

If you have Nitrous on your vehicle you must have a single layer fire jacket.

That is Commerce, I am asking about AMS...... :flamer:

[CWright]

No helmet at AMS required.

[Gryphonzus]

I have helmets but most of them are not full face. The full face I have is Snell 2001. I have spent enough money on helmets so if I cannot borrow one then count me out of the fun. Sorry!

[MyBlackBeasts]

Have no idea what they cost...

After reading the rule requiring the helmet I did research and found out that an ill-fitting helmet can be more dangerous than no helmet. Too loose & it can roll and break your neck or windpipe. Too tight & the impact shock it transmitted to the skull.

Therefore I decided borrowing one was not for me.

I went to Pegasus (www.pegasusautoracing.com (http://www.pegasusautoracing.com)) today and picked up a new Bell snell2010 fullface which Bob sized & fitted me correctly for and was pleasantly surprised @ only $249. Was expecting much more than that.

Given what we spend on these cars, there are things to get cheap over & this is not one. My head & life is worth a lousy $249.

See ya'll there! :D

[MyBlackBeasts]

Can anyone answer this?

I know you are supposed to empty all loose items before you can get on the track (this question refers to both Commerce & AMS) but empty to what degree?

Do you have to empty glove box & center console? What about things in the trunk organizer?

Thanks for the help! :)

[Pops]

Stuff equals weight which slows the car down. If its secure you need worry about it.

[sspmustang]

Just curious about when people might be heading up to Commerce...I work in Norcross and would like to hook up with those going Fri. evening...thx.
