I just found a lapping day at Road America Oct 16,17. My only problem is that I bought a motorcycle helmet instead of an auto helmet and this outfit is pickier about ratings. <sigh>
You are welcome to borrow my helmet that weekend.

What size do you wear? I'm in the big head club. XL in this Joe rocket.

What's a good helmet that's reasonably priced? The ones that I saw on Soloracer seemed pretty expensive (2-3x a motorcycle helmet).

It's a large, but I probably could have went with a medium. If you're going to be around somewhere sometime let me know and I'll bring it with. My HJC motorcycle helmet is also a large but fits more snug than this.

The September 11/12 looks very attractive.

What days would get us the most runs down the track?

I mean, what day will likely destroy my clutch in short order.. :)

Test days will get you the most runs by far, but they cost more. You will get a decent amount on the sport compact days too, but the traction will be the worst. The bracket race days will have better traction, but the most cars and a lot of time will be for bracket racing. The Fun Days are usually in between the bracket days and sport compact days as far as number of cars and traction.

^great info, a test day would be prime. 2nd choice being sport compact day.

Anyone else wanna rally around Sept 11th? We could pay our respects to those fallen and the twin towers by doing what we love most: playing with cars! $69 is a lot but I'd love to get a couple runs with this clutch and the new turbo. maybe I can gun for a 13.0? :)
