I think I may be going with a few of my buddies (not Camaro owners), I'll be on the look out for other Camaros though!

Going to do my best to make it one day this weekend for test and tune.
Question: Haven't been to Capitol before. Reading their rules seems to indicate that helmets and protective clothing is required. Is that correct?

Is everyone still planning to go with the cold temps? High is 37 so I'd say it'll be like 33 in the am... not sure if you can really get a launch with tires when temps are that low.

Hate to quote myself, but it has been a week and no one has answered me.

Helmet required if you run faster than 14.0.
They do have helmets there they can loan you.

No sure if they are talking about SNELL approved helmets or not but if so sometimes they will rent them out but last track in NJ i went to i ended up having to buy one as they only loan out basic dot approved helmets for cars/trucks ect. over 14 seconds. Would be best to call down there and find out as things can change year to year on this as i find.

Hmmmm. Haven't timed it but the specs say mid 12s.

Thanks. I have a helmet but wasn't sure if I would need it. I get claustrophobic wearing full face.

Don't suppose they would let me wear my beanie motorcycle helmet?
