You will definately need a helmet. I think at 11.99 you be required to have a roll cage. Not sure when the driveshaft safety loop is required. It's a good investment anyways. As they can really do some damage underneath if they break.
I will just be required to wear a helmet if I can break 13.99.

I have a helmet, but......It's gloss black, scratchless, and $300.00 (new).
You scratch it......you bought it! It's my crotch rocket helmet.
You can use it if you want. I'll just bring it.
I will also bring my 6x10 trailer to put some stuff on that will not be needed on the track. Can we say weight reduction. I didn't like that I had to sit the stuff on the ground as I went to stage.

My fat turd will be run the way it comes off the street I want to get true times. Im more into the street thing than the track. Later on when I get HPT Ill put some race gas in it, put it on a diet, and see what it will run for my bragging numbers.

Driveshaft safety loops are required when running at a certain E.T.
Meaning pretty fast. Not if you have a certain type of tire.
