If you see yourself doing this on a semi-regular basis (our little group does several a year)…and we have probably a dozen (or more) available to us, I highly recommend buying your own helmet.
Right now, you can get some outrageous buys on Snell ‘00’s because they have a life of 10 years, so this helmet would only be good for about another year and a half.
Go ahead and buy an ’05….they re-rate them at the factory, every 5yrs.
They overlap every 5yrs.
Or…
Wait another year and buy an 2010 model.
I have a really neat article that I wrote several years ago, about buying your first helmet.
If you’d like, I’ll try to dig it up and send it to you.

Just wanted to send some information about the TEXAS Z PARTY your way…
First,
Registration is just what we expected…there was that initial rush and then registrations slowed and are coming in something like the vitamins…ONE-A-DAY.
Have you been putting-off registering?
I highly suggest that you register now.
“Why?” you might ask?....
Because THIS Saturday (May 23rd), we’re opening registration up to several area car clubs…several of which have a rather large, track enthusiast group….and when they see the bargain price of our event…I’m expecting registration to fill up the slots that are available.
And while I would prefer this to be an all Nissan Event, it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen, so we’ll be inviting the Mazda Miata Club, the Mazda RX 7 & 8 Club, the Lotus Club, and the Mustang, SVT Club.
The final cut-off date for pre-registration is June 12th !
If there are any slots open after this date…. THE PRICE GOES UP !
Also, if you’re paying by mail/check, we must have your check, in-hand, by May 28th or your registration is not considered complete !
So save yourself some cash, and possible heart-break and get registered now !
AND….
If you don’t pre-register, there is no guarantee that you’ll get lunch OR an event T-Shirt (both of which are included in the price). This is for the Car Show as well as the Track Registration.
We have to turn in a head-count to our caterer and shirt screener in advance…so…if your registration is not in, or not completed, there may not be enough food or clothing to go around.
On a more personal note…..at last night’s meeting, I had several people inquire about pre-registering just to attend (no car show, no track time).
I told all of these people just to show up and pay at the gate.
Unfortunately, I gave you some bad information.
Even if you plan to just attend….PLEASE GO AHEAD AND PRE-REGISTER !
So…
What are you waiting for?
You know you’re planning on coming…so go ahead and register.
Go to: Texas Z Party
You’ll be glad you did.
David
