Question? I have a 2005 with a manual, 3:55s, 245/40/19 front, 275/35/19 rear, c&l street intake with brenspeed sct tune and I was wondering if I would be faster than a 13.99. At my local track I have to have a helmet if I am faster.
Yep. My open faced Zamp was about $70. You definitely should get one. It sucks to get one run in and be told you can't race again till you get a helmet. Some tracks rent them, but might as well just pick one up.
Yeah, even if you don't race all the time. At least you don't have to wear a rental when you do go. They're usually pretty nasty. Just leave it in the trunk.
It depends on who is policing the rules at the track to whether or not you need one. I'd always wear one anyhow due to the relatively low cost and potential safety increase if you should need it I use my Scorpion full face motorcycle helmet that I've had for a few years.
