I believe the hhelmet has to be SNELL certified and some tracks do look for the date stamp. I believe it's no good if it's older than two years. Regarding passengers, NHRA ruls state that cars running 14.00 or higher can carry a passenger, probably at the track's discretion. I took a passenger on a few runs and still ran like a 13.7 letting off and hitting the brakes right after the 1/8th mile.

You have a very nice car for your age. Remember to respect her, she will bite you when your least expecting. And remember to keep your racing on the track. You can beat pretty much any other kid your age, so don't bother! Trust me it's not worth it. I had a WS6 trans am when I was 17

I'm in for the track day at us41
QUOTE=E55Bullet;5268709]Curt is coming from Milwaukee area and I'm going from Lafayette, IN (Purdue university)
I will probably talk jake into doing a Eurocharged track event where we rent out the track to invited guest only. I think there would be enough interest in the Chicago area that if we all chipped in we could get this paid for.
This is just an idea for now, but either way curt and I will be going one Sunday.
I would love to help you out and teach you how to run your car. If we get foggy we can even swap out wheels and I'll let you and curt try out my drag radials (world of difference)
