First timer

Doing this on Feb. 23rd.

New Jersey Motorsports Park

Thunderbolt raceway with the talon once shes all put back together. I cannot WAIT to have some real fun in my car

Ive read the threads on auto-x and road courses, anyone know a good place to score an M or SA 2005 or better full face for a decent price?

Two popular place:
Auto Racing Helmets - SafeRacer
Auto Racing Helmets

Also, get a 2010 helmet if you can. It'll last much longer than a 2005.


You sure the car will be ready to go by then?

What's on Feb. 23 there?

 

[talon2gbuyer]

2nd annual cold tire domination. It's a small event that was run through another website I attend.

And yes brian, the car is being re-assembled as we speak Head work was completely re-done, new valves, etc. New tires, new brakes. The only thing I need to do is flush out the crap DOT 3 brake fluid and switch to something like Motul RBF600. And thanks a ton for the links on the helmets What size do you think my head is Bri?

Sax, here is the link for the site that organized it. I think they are full up, but you can email them and see. I didnt even see it until yesterday, and by then it was too late for me to pop it up here :\ then coupled with limited space.

Find a place close by and try them on. Or use their sizing guide and try to measure. If you can't try any on and are just going by a sizing guide, order 2 or 3 different sizes per helmet (if you're ordering more than one model). For example, I wear an XS in the HJC AR10 but my brother wears an XXS in some Bell model he chose. I initially ordered the S and M in the AR10 and had to send both back and have SoloRacer special order the XS for me. Just check the return policy, or give them a call and see what they can do about returning unused helmets as you're unsure of size.

Keep in mind you want it snug. The test I do is if I turn my head a bit quickly, does the helmet turn with me, or do a feel any flop.

Looks like fun!

I remember you having some (major?) trouble with your car a couple months back, you get it all sorted out?

 

[talon2gbuyer]

thats actually a good piece of advise. I'll try to measure my dome and see . Should be fun, as i've never done this before, and I hear the experience is great.

Yea, ended up the head was warped and cylinder 2 and 3 had a 90% leakdown. Decked head, new intake/exhaust valves, valve job and new HG and she should be ready to roll in about a week.
