Sent him a PM for more info. What all is needed for this? Helmet, and... fire extinguisher maybe? Anything else? Any suggestions as to where to get a good helmet for cheap? (I have been told before to get a full motorcycle helmet and just run with the front deflector up) Approx cost?

Haha, good call on the ebay. Costs are around $150/day!! 
That's awesome, most of the track events/schools I had been looking at were $1-2k per weekend. If it really is that cheap then count me in for aug!

ya the loaner helmets arent exactly how do you say umm clean, think about how many nasty sweaty heads have been in there all i can say is YUCK!
i remember my first auto-x i had to use a loaner helmet and i was like i really really DONT want to put this on
hence i now have my own helmet, i actually have 2, the second one i bought the chick said it was snell 2000 (my first question), i got home and realized it wasnt (bought it at bike week) i was PISSED oh well, what can ya do.
the helmet has got some use though, auto x, fc, bikes now it needs some more

Tom oo ooo, Tom question 
Do I have to do anything about insurance?
Also how much is a complete roll bar setup? (cage, harness, are seats mandatory? etc) to qualify for most other track events?
Lastly best place in the area to try on helmets?

$130 for a 6pt harness
Seats are not mandatory, but highly recommended for harnesses. A good seat will cost $600 new.
Having the roll bar alone will get you into 95% of track events though.
