The one Scheides linked to is SA-rated, you can get the M-rated version for a bit under $100 I believe.

Yeah, all the pics are in the thread. I personally don't need anything SA rated which is why I went with that one. To each their own!

I will be needing to buy an SA rated helmet for racing this summer so I'll have my black Snell 2005 M-rated helmet for sale. Even comes with a nice MitsuStyle decal on it. :)

The last day we went in 09, John was black flagged due to sparks coming from the brakes. Looked them over with the tech and did some 45-0 hard braking but didn't find any issues so we were able to continue.
Are you serious? Hot metal flying off red hot brake rotors, scary stuff! That just means he was using the brakes as they were meant to be used. :)

We weren't able to see it, but it concerned the corner workers. Almost considered upgrading the brakes this winter to improve stopping even more, but probably wont get it done this year. Might get rid of the factory pads though.

I'm certainly going to make as many autox's as I can this year. I have 2 reliable autocross worthy cars and a much better work schedule, so no more excuses really.

No drag racing for me this year, but I'd like to go to BIR at least once if I can.

My only limitation is working weekends in July and August. I have most of my weekends available in May, June, September, and early October though.

I sent an email to the people to see the process for registering and if anyone can go. Sounds like a great deal and I will definately sign up if they allow different cars.
