Track day is FREE!
Helmets - I know they have helmets there for the racing school and they will probably be available to use. However, I would pay a $200-$400 not to put my head in a helmet that's been used by countless sweaty, smelly people. But that's just me. By the way, the $$ you pay for a helmet is the price you are putting on your head, so choose wisely.

I plan on picking up a helmet this week. I have been looking online at different brands and models. Just not sure what to choose. I was thinking of going to one of the karting places or a Bike shop to purchase one.
Cyrus any recommendations would be nice.

Others have Bell and G-Force helmets, that they like.
So G-Force Bell, or Simpson are good helmets for the price.
http://www.saferacer.com/ for info.
You may want a closed face helmet if you think you may go karting at some point, or going to be in an open cockpit car. But if you know for a fact that there's no way you would be in an open car, then get an open faced helmet, they are more comfortable and cooler.
With a closed face helmet, then you get into aero effects, if you think you're going to be in a fast open car, you may want to get a helmet that's more aerodynamic since helmets that don't have aero will tend to lift at high speeds, but they are also more expensive.
I hope that gives you something to go by. I'm not sure if they have helmets to buy at the track.

Thanks. The G- Force were the models I was looking at. I am going to go closed face because of karting and I know some tracks may require you run with the windows down. Thanks for the aero tip.

I actually got it more to stay cool than to breath. It was only 200 for the system, so I figured oh well.

Mario-check out hotels.com or priceline. Every hotel in Vegas is not sold out. The floor thing won't work, we need a little privacy!
I want to leave during the day not at night so sometime around 1 or 2 I am planning on leaving SD, so let me know if there is way for any of us to meet for the rest of drive.

Still no word yet on the car.
Best case. I get the car back, but I can't leave work before 4.
Worst case. The car won't be done, so I will miss out.
R: LOL, The hemi would be funny up there, but it would cause more traffic than laughs. I wish I had another car to bring, but I don't. This SUCKS!!!
Cyn: Actually, The car didn't even get touched until yesterday. All the other SDCrew guys have been getting all the tech love, so it has been a logistical issue with getting it in. I'm pissed about it, but I'd rather it be done right.
Vadim: Hehe! If I can go, we can hook up on the way.
