Re: BIR 9/5 wed. night drags
 

Come on, you kept bugging me since you got that sweet car of yours!

At least come and watch.

Re: BIR 9/5 wed. night drags
 

No money to watch either. I'll go some other time then, If I would of known this date for sure. I would of made it happen.

Question about the helmet says 2000 or newer snell. Can u just use a dot snell approved motocross helmet, or do most people use a full face helmet usually?

Re: BIR 9/5 wed. night drags
 

Motorcycle helmets are usually ok. I've never had a problem.

Re: BIR 9/5 wed. night drags
 

Usually doesn't matter if it's open face or full face or SA or SM, as long as it's Snell 2005 or newer. Just DOT won't pass. Snell 2000 should be expired by now.

Re: BIR 9/5 wed. night drags
 

Track should be sticky after this weekend.

Re: BIR 9/5 wed. night drags
 

As long as it is going to be nice I am going to go try it out.

Re: BIR 9/5 wed. night drags
 

Got a helmet, I'm in! (whether brownman gets his car done or not)
Weather says:
High of 70's and sunny! Perfect! at night it should cool down to a high of 40's. Humidity is at 61% though. Still should be a good time. I hope this PREDICTION is right.

They let you two illegal immigrants race at BIR?

Re: BIR 9/5 wed. night drags
 

Has to be SNELL 2005 now. Are those old rules?

Re: BIR 9/5 wed. night drags
 

I have an 05 if someone needs to borrow one.

Re: BIR 9/5 wed. night drags
 

Have brownman pick it up from you. I pulled that straight from their website under their rules for wednesday night drags.

Re: BIR 9/5 wed. night drags
 

I know when I bought my helmet but is it stamped somewhere in this thing just to be sure before I drive to brained tomorrow for nothing.

Re: BIR 9/5 wed. night drags
 

Helmet rules are almost non existent on Wednesdays. Basically if you have a helmet they will let you race.

Re: BIR 9/5 wed. night drags
 

Agreed. Last year they let me race at Wednesday street drags with a SNELL 95 helmet.
