[saltydog]

Loco, keep dem for de VK Specials

There will be no more "VK" super specials as those 2 get a divorce. But even so the ministry of sport has denied use of the stadium for these type of events.

but whyyyyyyyyyyyy
The last two times I ran a car for fun, it broke
between the wall and cracking the engine block, it not startin to make sense
I prefer the competition to just comin out for fun runs
Actually the only fun events I might consider, esp with the HSR would be drift events, since I canot do it and would like to try it

[Monk BANzai]

Helmet Rentals are available to those that require them on competition days.

Open Face Helmets (black with Silver stripes) are going to be rented for $60TT for the day and Closed face Helmets (green and yellow with silver and black highlights) for $70TT per day.

Helmet bookings can be done via PM to me on trinituner or by calling me directly.

Requirements are that you leave your Driver's Permit with me along with the rental fee. You collect your DP when you return the helmet.

All helmets are sanitized in your presence before use. It is suggested that you have a Balaclava.

It is not recommended that you "lend" your rental to others during the course of the day as you are responsible for the security of the helmet.

The renter is to pay any costs due to damaged/lost helmets.

[MG Man]

you should invest in surgical hair net thingies. They cheap and will help with the ickyness of long term rentals

Helmets being introduced is obviously for safety reasons. The courses are getting faster and due to the broad spectrum of competitors we do not want to wait until we have an indicident to then say we should have done it. Besides we are involved in motorsport and as such need to follow all the safety measures.

Regarding the rules these will be given out at the first event. We have come up with a points system for modifications. It still has to be finalized but so far 5 points is a class bump. (victors = 5 points) There is a table of modifications that have point values e.g poly bushings 1 point. The point values are the last thing to tweak and then the rules will be published. There is also a new class EP-R which essentially is open class all mods allowed

We would like everyone that is driving on the 11th to wear a helmet, this will help you to get used to it before the first event. I will contact Banzai who has helmets to rent. Also MG man the helmets have to be up to standard as stated in the rules I believe it is Snell 2000 and above

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001A6 ... 91&sr=1-13

DOT certified and all that


http://www.amazon.com/HJC-AC-3-CL-33-SH ... 241&sr=1-3

a little cheaper..but looks like something you'd find in the bamboo

[wagonrunner]

reiXmann,
liking the wine color
and every two that are ordered together, you pay no shopping (once order exceeds US$100).
not bad, not bad at all.

If customs will see it as a sporting accessory (helmet), yuh in d game there.
CARS members, what could be done about that?

[r3iXmann]

just emailed the seller about whether they offer group discounts or specials

[daymean]

i am in for the group buy
so what if the helmet is dot certified and not snell 2005 certified? can it still b used for solodex?

[moti]

ok so i spoke to Andy from MINICITY and he said that although a helmet might
be SNELL 2000 or 2005 certified, a helmet thats DOT certified will also meet the
same requirements as the SNELL certified one.

what i would like to know is can i buy a DOT certified helmet or do i have
to purchase the SNELL 2005 certified ones ?

SNELL 2005 = $$$

Not Sure of The Snell rating (if it was rated), but it meets/or exceeds DOT specifications.

I bought my helmet there, and they always have helmets on clearance.

I bought my closed face helmet for $99.00USD, and the open face helmets are even cheaper.
