I'm interested in going. It'll be my first time at a track. Just wondering what type of helmet I would need to buy. Does it need to be snell rated or can it just be a less expensive DOT rated helmet. I'd only be using it a few times; I don't plan on going to the track more than once in a year. Rather not spend $300+ on an expensive snell rated helmet (schuberth, etc). Trackies please share their experiences also in regards to tires, etc.

I finally got a good inexpensive helmet. It's a new G-force Pro Force Air SA2000 rated helmet. Should be good enough. Last time I went autocrossing I had to borrow somebody's L size helmet; it reeked of sweat and was way too small for me. I'll probably find a small filtered air pump and hook it up with 3/4" flex air hose. I'll use the power switch off my Recaro ventilated seats to power the pump. This helmet looks like it already has been pre-drilled for a HANS device.

I got to make sure I have a good set of tires next....
