I think you have to break the 14s for a helmet and 10s is a full roll cage.

Tracks will usually open up in March.
I, for one, refuse to go to a regular test and tune because 1) they are too crowded and 2) you have to deal with too many idiot ricers. The crowd I go with is great and well worth the $100. At a busy test and tune at MIR you will be lucky if you get 4 runs in 4 hours. At one of my events there is zero delay and you could literally make a hundred passes if you wanted.

Hardy har har. I'm still the President of MAZOC. Plus, aren't you thinking about getting one?

If you want a cheap helmet take a look at Pyrotect. They are made by Bell and you can get a new one for around $250. Good quality too.

It is worth it if you have the money. I would rather pay like $40 for entry and helmet rental and stay there for a couple of hours. Besides, when you're with a group of friends, time just flies. I was at the meet on Saturday for a good 5 hrs and didn't even realize that it had been that long.

Well one day you'll have to come out to one of the track rentals so you can experience the difference

Definitely man. I won't know how good it is until I experience the crowded days. For right now though, I just want to do it for fun and the experience. I'm also trying to save up for some mods so I will have to settle for the crowded days for the greater good of my Z, lol. Once I'm done with school and start working full time (only doing part-time right now) things should be different. I am excited either way. I'm still trying to test the limits of my car and find out what it can do. Is there any place around here where I could safely do a top speed run or something? Watching Top Gear gets me really excited about my car and brings out the inner Stig in me

There is nothing quite like seeing what you and your car can do on the track.

The private track days at MIR are definitely worth the $100 bucks. I think I got in almost 30 passes last October and that's with plenty of cool down cycles after 3-4 trips down the track. Great group of folks that come to those meets too.
