Open Sprint Day 02/11/08

[Bazza]

I bought a helmet for £50 a few months ago, specifically for track days, for use with the kit car on the motorway and i do alot of Go-Karting also. I would rather have my own helmet than use a rental one as some of the ones i have used over the years have been

You can pick up a entry level helmet from a motorbike shop for £30+, and then may get you doing more track days as well. :)

Jason :P

good point, however most trackdays insist that you wear a Crash helmet conforming to BS6658 Type A ( blue & white BSI sticker), AFR ( red & white BSI sticker) or Snell SA2000.

most motorcycle helmets are not conforming as they have a different type of use standard applied !

you can buy proper conforming helmets for around £70 from demon tweeks etc

the ones rented out are generally in very good condition, are sanitised before, and you can wear a under helmet balaclava underneath if you have lice or greasy hair

Mine has Certification, thats why i paid a little more...........well £50. :) Thought that would probably be the case so thats why i forked out a little more and got one that is approved.

Mine was £175, reduced to £50 because it was last seasons model, nothing has changed on the new model apart from the colour scheme. :) My bro has forked out over £400 on a simpson helmet (same as the stigs!!!) but i find the one i have much better as the visabilty is 100% better than his, even he said the same! :P

Just a quick one..........anybody know what the db limit is for this track, although if Bazza can use his Starlet any other car will be fine!!! :P

102db i think !

the starlet is now down to about 95 db at 3/4 revs

except when its running full boost and exhausting through the screamer pipe, at that point its any ones guess, but you cant actually measure it, i havent been stopped yet

Thanks Bazza, mine will be fine but just thinking if my bro does come along his is around 115db at 3/4 although his has been dropped of today to have a full race system made up so should be alot lower than what it is at present.

This is looking to be a good day, well worth the 200+ miles each way

I'll mark you up as having paid on the first page :winky:

[janey]

Come on Guys (& Gals :winky:) there must be more people interested in doing this...

For a start its a great price, its in a 'central' location......its probably the safest track day you could ever do - you're the only one on track, so no chance of any shunts, no nasty armco, you can do it at your own pace with no one in front or up your rear pushing you over your limits.........plus the food & drinks van serves some excellent grub

Plus the best bit of all.........You get the chance to try and beat one or two girls

[aztecbandit1]

[Dave-Ellen]

Need those who have expressed an interest to slip me the cash ASAP
