Helmet for Track Day 10/26

I presume we will need a helmet for the track day at Calif Speedway on 10/26. Can we rent one anywhere? Do they rent them at the track? I want to come prepared and not dissapointed that we wont be able to run because we don't have a helmet. Replies appreciated, thanks in advance!!!

I never been to that track but i have never seen helmets for rent. Your better off just either buying one or borrow one from other members while there cars are cooling.

BTW, where did you get your E63? The E63 that I ordered and had to cancel was at Schumacher. It Was Artic White with Cashmere interior. How long have you had your E63? Thanks again for the reply!!!

I don't think that you can rent one at the track. As someone mentioned above, your best bet is to find someone that you can borrow it from.

Jrocket: We moved into our new home on 10/05/07, so the 26th will be the 3 week anniversary of being back in California. We located in La Quinta which is about 20 miles east of Palm Springs. Will you be at the 10/26 track day? I'm looking forward to trying out my mods done by Chris at Floored Fabrication in the Phoenix area. (headers, 80mm vrus TB, and the IC mod = 50% larger + separated from the engine cooling system). Drop me a short reply.

Bluemax: The car sounds identical, Color, Interior, Options P2 etc, but the time frame is off by about 6 - 7 months, I cancelled my order in Oct/Nov of 06' with the Delivery scheduled for late Oct./early Nov.. Sure sounds pretty nice though, enjoy!

I just purchased a DOT certified helmet on ebay. It's an open face type model and it was 45.00 which inlcued shipping.

I coulnd't belive some of the helmets that were for sale...some were $900 + obviously if you are a serious racer, then you couldn't put a price on one's life but for a little drag racing....a cheapo will do for me
