25 views and no one is interested?

This is in our back-yard. It's a VERY fun track.

I'm not one for more than a month ahead of time scheduling. or, more specifically I'll be signing up the friday before at about 11am. then I can know if the weather is going to be good.

If I can borrow an SA helmet, size XL or if I can buy one pretty cheap, maybe I'll come. Autobahn is a great facility. Otherwise I'll have to go to a Monday CGI event at Gingerman.

Get an SA helmet. It's just not safe to drive a car on a track without an SA rated helmet.

BTW -- I got my track pads in the mail yesterday. I am all set to go now.

Holy Crap. Helmets are more than I thought they'd be. Would an open face suffice? They're a little more reasonably priced. I might have to put off tracking the car for $ reasons!
