of seat time on the course! This is also a good events for couples, family,

If it rains that day, we will reschedule to event as soon as possible. Make
sure you have at least half a tank of gas and that the carefully check your
tire pressures. If you do not know the optimal tire pressures for your car,
a rule of thumb is to add 4-5 psi to the factory recommended pressures.
You'd rather have more air than less, so you don't scuff up your tire
sidewalls.

The only safety equipment required is a helmet and the standard seat belts
in your car. If you do not own a helmet, we have a limited amount of loaners
on a first come first serve basis. Keep in mind, our loaners helmets are old
and stinky - a last resort. Buying or borrowing a helmet from a friend is
the best route.

If you do consider buying a helmet, either a motorcycle or autoracing helmet
will do fine. Make sure the helmet is DOT and SNELL approved. You probably
don't need to spend over $200 for a helmet, there are a lot of good ones for
about $150 at your local motorcycle shop. The brand isn't as important as
the fit and comfort of the helmet.

If you have a child between the ages of 16-18 and would like to participate,

size when you send in your check! See you in February!!!
