Yeah, I might not be able to make it either, at least with the "Z" maybe I'll bring the Mini Cooper out there. "Z" was towed to the dealer on Monday, they are saying parts probably won't be in till the end of the week, first of next week.

Between now and Saturday I think I am going to put my car in a bubble so no one runs into it and it won't have a mechanical problem.

It seems the list is down to 2 people and maybe 3. Braden I say you bring the Mini because my experience from running my mini is that people are much more impressed by a 14 second mini than a 12 second mustang or 13 second Z. I ran 14.96 with my 2007 JCW Cooper S but it was 98 degrees that weekend so I think you could go faster. The Mini was a good AutoX car and a fair Track Car but at the Strip I got more props and a kill on a 2008 dodge charger that had to be uncomfortable for him.

There are no other 370Z's in Socal that want to run. This is a chance to run the strip on a 70 degree day. There are only about 3 more weekends in 2010 and I bet 2 of them the weather will be 95 in Fontana

One pass under 13.99 without a helmet and you are done.
Helmets are tough because you sweat on the padding and very few people are comfortable swapping helmets unless it is an extra one they never use or maybe a brother from another mother.

Luckily one of my buddies with a built 05 mustang and another one with a 2009 SS Camaro are coming along with me because it appears I may be the only 370 left in the group running.

If no one else but me can make it please let me know so I can bypass the Carls Jr. segment of the program. If someone still wants to go I will gladly stop by Carls still.

Tru Asiatik - You will need a SA2000 Rated Auto Racing Helmet for most Auto X and track day events. What may come as good news is the Drag strip at Fontana allows M rated motorcyle helmets so if you know anyone with a motorcycle who has an M2000 or better that would work..
Motorcycle helmets can be had from 60-99 dollars but I'm not sure in your area who would have them cheap. Walmart had a black bell open face for 49 but not sure if it is found in stores anymore.

dangit....

im looking at hjc i guess my budget is 150-200(for now)

You should be able to find a helmet in plain black or white for about 100 bucks at a local motor cycle shop. Put a few vinyl stickers on a plain helmet and to me that looks much better than graphic helmets anyway. Especially for an auto helmet. 2000 is just a production year reference so any new M or SA Helmet will do. If a shop has old ones in stock make sure it is 2000 or above.

Cycle Gear which has many stores throughout CA and has a store locator on their website has HJC Plain Black Helmets call the nearest store once you have chosen a few different models to see what they have in store.
