I think Swifty's biggest issue would be money not so much too much power...

The tech for wed nights is pretty lax, I'm sure you could run the slicks without much of an issue.

I used a 95tsi's full face BMX helmet about a half dozen times last year. lol

Actually, BIR usually wont let people run on full slicks on Wed nights. Unless you tech the car on street tires then swap out to slicks.

It is actually a DOT approved helmet. But I do plan on getting a new one this year so I can get past tech for AUTOX and some full track time at BIR!!!

these cars turn pretty good with the right parts!!

You do know that the DOT approval doesn't typically cut it for racing. It has to have a Snell rating usually.

I thought Jeremy ran slicks on his Civic? (NOGRIP)

Wednesday nights they don't even check. We both rocked that helmet last year on Wed nights and they never even looked twice

I'm buying a helmet soon. The best bang/buck helmet I've found on the market is rated SA2005, and both Hughes and Zac bought one last year, they're pretty nice:

I'm aware, that is also why I'm picking up a new one for this yr. They let it go with Mike trapping sub 22 sec passes and under 90mph and me pushing 120mph. However, last time I autox'd they didnt let me use it at all. And I'm guessing the road course will be a different story from a wed night drag session. I should find that out sometime this season, with a dot and snell helmet.
