Drag Helmet
I'm hitting up the drag strip this weekend for my first time. Was wondering if anyone had a helmet I could borrow for the weekend? Many Thanks!

Re: Drag Helmet
Take mine, but I get a ride in your car. Murlo knows where I live, stop by this week sometime.

Geeze, when I asked for a helmet nobody stood up besides halon..boo!
It's kind of cool to see how many people have hit the track this year thus far.

Re: Drag Helmet
If scheides' helmet is randomly abducted by mutant seagulls you are more than welcome to use mine.
What are you thinking the G8 will run?

I'm hoping that I can run in the 11's traction permitting. I'm not bringing slicks or drag radials so that might be unrealistic.

Re: Drag Helmet
I have mine in the garage still if anyone needs one. You'd have to pick it up today though, I head out of town tomorrow.

Re: Drag Helmet

Good luck on the sub 12 second pass!

Yeah they do hook up really nice IMO, plus I don't make much low end power so I typically don't have that big of issues from the dig. Then again, I don't launch my car very often, or stall up my torque converter.

Re: Drag Helmet
Well I didn't manage to get 11's this weekend at the drag strip. The best run I was able to pull off was a 12.3 @ 112.

Re: Drag Helmet
Get some slicks, spray and call it a day. Couple more runs down the track you should hit 11s. You going again this coming saturday?

Re: Drag Helmet
Nice, that's a good 60ft for street tires. I'm sure you will get better with more time.
