Technically, its a non-spectator event. For insurnace purposes mostly i'm sure.

If you're coming to check it out, just get there by 8am and sign up. its 25 bucks. all you need is a car in safe working order (which you have) and an m2000 or newer helmet. Anyone with a motorcycle probably has one you can borrow.
or hit up a bike shop for an $80 HJC.

 

[TurboMirage]

everybody and their mother comes, i doubt its going to be a big deal.

I went to the pepboys in wallingford..and they had helmets galore....I forgot what was required for yearly ratings, but they had the same helmet that Steve bought last year from BELL, and it was legal....and it was there on sale for like $79.99...and I think that is what Steve paid for his. But to be on the safe side....if you do go looking at hemets...look inside it, under the cloth flaps and look for a sticker or inked in rating number and date. Most of the motorsports events for real racing require a SA2005, but most will still accept an SA2000. The SA models are good for like 7 years after date of MFG...but I could be wrong...it's always best to see what is required by your local motorsports events and base your purchase on that. For drifting...they base the requirment on two things....one place will say to wear what you value your head at, and another place will say they require you to have a full faced SA2005....if you plan on multiple events, and you care about walking away from a crash...then buy the best you can get or afford.

CART's requirement....
Helmets are required (sorry no loaners). Every helmet must have Snell M or SA rating and proof of being manufactured within the last 10 years. Helmets must be in good condition (no cracks)

 

[Airjockie]

CTDrifting requirement's.

A racing helmet must be worn at all times while on track.
Track officials have the right to deny some types of helmets from being used for safety purposes.

DGTrials... Snell 1995 or better.

and check your other events for their requirements as well....then get a helmet
