Oh who cares. You've only got it on your head for 14.5 seconds.

Yeah.. they're pretty gross. if you have a motorcycle helmet or a quad helmet... I used my snowmobile helmet and it's passed. Just as long as you're protected.

Look inside the padding of the helmet... if it has a sticker that looks like this, then helmet is good to go;


I doubt I'll be racing, but I'll bring my bike helmet along for anyone that needs it.... it's passed NHRA tech hundreds of times... so it's good to go.

On the fire thing. I was at the Rocky Mountain Nationals yesterday, and I left way left because I was helping my dad and Rob Atchison with Ace put the one funny car away and as I was walking down the pits there was one trailer that had a fire in the pits... so I'm gonna assume it's okay to have a little one. Like, it was maybe 12" across.

no air supplied at the track, but the petro-can just off hwy2 has a compressor. portable compressors are definatly handy to have

Yeah, sorry, NO AIR AT THE TRACK. Bring your own or go to Petro Can on the east side of the Hwy 2 overpass.

Finally have most all of the parts I wanted to before the meet (other than a new windshield). So do we need to bring our own firewood?
