Thread: Track Day for Newbies...general track day questions here

I just got off the phone with Kaye at Roebling Road. Either M or SA helmets are acceptable as long as the date range is in line. That means 2000 or newer. Josh is correct in his observation that they aren't inspecting helmets or cars, it will be our responsibility to police ourselves. I am sure that we don't want any issues, so let's all be proactive here and get the correct equipment. And they don't have helmets available for rent at the track, so you'll have to make other arrangements.

Question, since I plan to get into road racing and need a new bike helmet anyways, would a SA approved helmet last me for at least 7-10 years or is there a newer rating I should look for since I will have it for some time?

Oh, that makes sense. I rented one of the track's helmets in Chicago, so I didn't even notice no one inspecting helmets.

I hope you're right..Ms are cheap as a mofo.

quick link to online helmet store...they have some pretty nice ones on there.

I feel the helmet talk deserved it's own thread so here it is.

Hey guys. I am planning on bringing my 1991 NX2000 and maybe a few friends to this track day. I am a local Chapter Cooridnator for the SCCA and have access to 6 SA2000 helmets(various sizes). I would be glad to bring them along for anyone who does not have access to one. This may help some of the newbies out a bit.

That would be awesome!

Yah, that would be really great.

I would love that. I don't have a helmet so that would be really cool. I would hate to have to rent one.
