Paul, Barona has 5 or 6 in the tower for loan.

Loaner helmets ... EWWWWW

Jim, that is for kids 13 to 16. You can show and race the family car at just about any track.

Yes on a day classified for street cars or Test and Tune sure ... but there are still rules around that for both vehicle and driver.

 

[Mike]

Not true again, you can show up on just about any day at any track and I'd bet money they have a class or bracket that you can race the family car in. Rules, of course but how tough can it be to have a seat belt? Some tracks do require any driver to have a helmet but not all.

 

[PJ]

I race the daily driver several times a year. No helmet required just pants, seat belt, no leaks and good windshield.

And as I recall PJ did a pretty darn good job to

I've raced my Tow Vehicle and went a few rounds.

We've been to Barona a few times and have always been treated well.

For the first time in several years we will be racing at the Auto Club Raceway at Fontana as part of Vintage 7.60 on July 18-19. A/Gasser and NE-1 rolled into one class. We get two of the "loud days" permitted to the track per the agreement made. I'm sure the track will be doing sound testing during that time.

Nevertheless, I digress. I believe that as long as you're not going quicker than 11.99 in the 1/4 mile, you are not required to wear a helmet. At those times it's no quicker than getting on the freeway.

Hey Gino lay some pictures on us after race.
As for Helmet rules I think it should be required in all cars at any et/mph, sure there is a cost factor here but maybe local track can get Bell or others at beginning of race season to offer a one time deal. Not sure if they're good for 3 or 5 years but it would be a good way to get drivers updated helmets.

Gino, 13.99 or quicker. By the way, Fontucky sound tests every race. The monitor is set up in the tower.

As a person who hails from the Commonwealth of Kentucky, I prefer "Fontanabama".

 

[DrRocket]

Rockfalls Raceway in Wisconsin, home strip for Al Corda, requires helmets for everyone. No exception. They have to be Snell rated too. I've got NO problem with that.

Should be good, bringing in someone from outside the current group is a good idea. Got to chat with Blount several years ago during an interview. Seemed like someone who wasn't just "writing" but actually liked the sport too. Hope he does well

Jesse how's this for starters?

And thanks Mike, you are correct as always. It is 13.99.

I've always liked Blount's writing. Someone with experience and connections in the size organizations he has worked for could be good for that department.
