I think I might want to try this. I wanted to go watch you guys, but getting off work at 7am I was just too tired.

Is there anything you guys can recomend to a NOOB?

I'll set the same standard as you Jesus I'm still hoping my paperwork from SCCA gets here soon so I can get my membership (the gf said she'd pay for the rest as an x-mas gift ) she might even come with me to this event. I've also got a couple friends of mine interested in trying it out so we might have a pretty large group, who knows, I CAN"T WAIT!!!11!!1

Not much to it. Just clear out your car of any loose things that can be tossed around during the run. If you don't have your own helmet just yet, have your DL ready if you need to borrow a crusty loaner (I'll be buying headsocks this weekend if you wanna borrow one), and if you're nervous there are instructors on-site to ride with you and build your confidence.

Oh yeah, and don't get hypnotized by "the lake"

I wanna say yes for the bike helmets, but I'm still not sure myself. I'm still researching helmets and trying to figure out what works and what doesn't. So far I got a feeling it doesn't matter as long as it's got a min. 95-Snell rating. If I can't decide by this week I'll run down to Super Autotoyz this weekend and see what they got. PM me your number if you wanna roll along.

Don't get it from Autotoyz. www.extremesupply.com

Btw, SA2005 is about the highest rating you can get. As long as you get that, you're good.

Btw, if you want me to snag you some headsocks, let me know. I'll get some for free.

Solo2 aren't too concerned with what helmets you get. As long as it has one of the following certs.

http://cms.scca.com/documents/Solo_R...n_bulletin.pdf

Remember, SA2005 is highest rating by Snell. So if you get that, you'll be good for nearly everything else.

And no, fullface doesn't matter. There were people rocking half face helmets.

I think I am more nervous in the fact that I have not driven a car in 5 years, and mine has less then 500 miles on it. I am loving driving the Yaris over my motorcycle though. I want to get some good usage of the stock tires before I drop some coin on my new rims and tires and thought the auto X would be a fun way to do it.

Yeah if you are gonna hit up Super Autotoyz I am down to meet ya there, would be nice to start meeting peeps from the site.

Dude, i hit like 0923091230 cones. I'm sure the course workers weren't too excited about seeing me hit the track.
