Not sure of your question, but here goes an attempt at an answer.
- To be clear, there will be no motorcycles on the road course at any time during our event.
- On the road course a motorcycle helmet will not pass tech.

The paperwork regarding safety equipment for the drag course regarding motorcycles is as follows:
- A full face helmet is required.
- Leather jacket, boots, and gloves at all times
- 120+ mph requires full leathers
- 10.99 or faster requires ignition kill switch

Hope this helps

I'm amazed they still want drivers to wear those. You guys should be thinking Hans.

I've looked at them hank. Wishing they weren't so damned expensive. I'm a budget racer for the moment, this safety stuff is getting outrageous.

I have one, if you want to use it. It's a 20 degree/large All you'd need to do is install the anchors in your helmet. I think the anchors are like $50. You also need a harness in the car, obviously.

I appreciate the offer Hank. I've purchased a neck brace already...

lmao, that's what happens when you have a month worth of work left and try to do it in a week. Literally street tuned that thing to get it close the day before we left.
