Keen has two motorcycle helmets. If these work and fit you and you need them, then let us know.

The S2k is in the "AS" class. You are up against some fairly stiff competition but at the same time these courses favor good handling and car control. An S with a good driver can be a very potent weapon in that class. The events that I've been to typically don't have too many of those high-end cars there. I've seen a bunch of Vettes, 1 Viper, and 1 911 there. I was surprised to run the same lap times as the Viper. Another example of power isn't everything here.
If your S has mods you will probably run in "BSP". My Z has been running BSP (because of non-stock width rims) and I've been getting stomped out by this prepped Corvette w/ a national champion driver. I should prolly read the rule book to see if I can reclassify myself somehow.
Truthfully tho, I don't even pay much attention to the classes. The only person that I'm tryin to compete with is myself. I try to always beat my last/best run and better my times. I do check scores of cars that I think I should be similar to tho.
For the most part I just love the competitive driving experience and the improvement of my skills.
There are "fun runs" at the end of the morning and afternoon sessions. Its typically $1/run. They usually require that you have paid and run in your heat first tho.

All you really need is a motorcycle helmet (Snell 95+ approved), $30 to $45, and a desire to get it crackin.
