Yup yup. I think as long as it's Snell. My friend took his motorcycle one, just fine.

Speaking of which, for all you wanting to buy one, here's some on the cheap. Thanks TAMAGO for posting the link.

Everyone gets nervous, Then you get over it! It's fun. And don't sweat it much. Keep the revs on the slightly lower side. I have yet to hit 3rd gear, and the runs are only like a minute long. Not too crazy as far as abuse.

I hit my first cone

Surely not my last. But I wanted to go at least 3 events with a perfect no-cone record. booo hooo boooo hoooo

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

)

You mean, you want to close the gap to MY time, or to Noogies? hehe.
I KNOW I KNOW. i want my paperwork! Come on post office guy (or SCCA people)! Dood, your girl sounds cool. Nice gift! Does she have a cute sister who is just as cool?

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.

Thanks for the info and link, ddong. I just saw a really sweet one that's way out of my price range. Looking at the material I'm sure Garm already got one lol.

I'm down for some free headsocks though. Hook it up!

ddongbap · 12-16-2009, 05:20 PM

They always have "cash" prices. Call them up and ask them. They're in Long Beach, and don't mind local pickup.

They also allow you to try any helmets on so you can feel the best one for u.

lowsushi · 12-16-2009, 06:45 PM

I they do allow motocycle helmets I have a spare one. L or XL. I will have to look in the garage for it.

cali yaris · 12-16-2009, 06:58 PM

Jan. 10 -- I'm in. Might even practice on the 9th, but probably not.

Noogie, do you have a points card? Should I get one?

LtNoogie · 12-16-2009, 07:23 PM

If you want to really compete next year, you need a points card. With a points card, you select a permanant number against which all your scores are collected for the year-end tally. After all, the Sunday races are real Championship races.

My permanent number is "425". When I asked for a new number "125", I got this response:

"Reminder to please choose another number as #123 is in the range of 1-199 held for long-standing members"

Also, in order to get a points card, you have to join a local team. I joined Team No$ (pronounced No Bucks) because we do not hold meetings and do not charge dues.

cali yaris · 12-16-2009, 08:37 PM

I wonder what the conditions are to have a team/club that SCCA approves.

Team Yaris, for example.

LtNoogie · 12-16-2009, 09:21 PM

They are actually called Clubs.

http://www.solo2.com/clubs.asp

I just know that clubs have to host and run the monthly autocross events on a rotating basis. The clubs tend to be quite large and require a dedicated group of people to provide core leadership and organization.

cali yaris · 12-16-2009, 09:37 PM

good goal for the future. I put in a request to No Bucks

and posted on the Solo forums about classing. Might stick with my street tires and CST instead of CSM.

Yes you should. All the cool kids are doing it! I'm rocking #226 (nobody noticed ???) LOL, all the cool kids.

Sucks that I couldn't change it to a 1-199 number :(

hehe...Garm, I actually considered starting a club. Team Yaris would be bad ass. But, like Noogie said, it would take a group of dedicated people. And maybe a rather large number? D'OH

ddongbap · 12-17-2009, 01:49 AM

I might go for practice day. But the event day is too expensive for just a few runs.

My friend had gotten nearly 35 runs throughout the day at Speed Ventures.

justjesus · 12-17-2009, 02:10 AM

DDONG! you going for sure? I'm likely in for the Sunday run. 35 runs sounds dreamy.Maybe too dreamy?

ddongbap · 12-17-2009, 02:59 AM

Nah. It happens all the time in Speed Ventures events. They don't care about rankings. Which, I don't either. I just want to practice. So they just constantly send people.

So, because of that, I don't think I'll want to do the Solo events as often. Esp this Jan, since I got two other events I'm going to be attending. But we'll see.

cali yaris · 12-17-2009, 11:01 AM

yeah speed ventures runs a good event. You'll get lots of seat time, and they have good instructors, too.
