ReddyZ06 Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Cool. Now I have to figure out how to get a helmet. OVR has some loaner helmets at their events. Personally, I would go to the Iron Pony, they seem to always have new helmets at great prices (many in the $30-$60 range). If rules are still the same as they used to be, for autocross you can use either a MA or SA rated helmet. The SA is required for most roadcourse use due mostly to the Nomex material. I guess fire is not a concern in autoX so MA is legal too. If you plan to hit some road courses later you may want to buy the more expensive SA rated helmet now.

31rx7 Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 If you don't hit cones or spin once in awhile, you aren't testing the limits. Just don't make it a habit. Just thought I'd throw my two cents in - Hi my name is Mike, and I hate cones. Can't wait to see everyone out there this season (my first one in Columbus). http://www.flux21.com/z/autox/DSC05637.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 I won't be at the T&T as well but I will likely be at the Drivers School instructing again if I'm needed. I would assume if signup is avai;able the schedule should be final, I'll find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike That's the plan if I enjoy doing it (which I'm sure I'll love it) as well as if my financial situation changes. Damn economy around here is killing me. Right now, I'm just looking to learn and get advice before I make the serious plunge into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Seriously - that is an awesome plate. I need to find some stickers like that too. Here's another good website to check out that has the 'no cones' decals and magnets: http://www.soloperformance.com/No-Cones-Brand-No-Cones-Decal-or-Magnet_p_1150.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coty061885 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I'm planning on the Test and Tune, as well. Just changed my brakes and may possibly have new tires by then. Can't wait to get back into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripleskate Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 How strict is the points system for the OVR SCCA? I don't turn 18 'till May 14th, so I wouldn't be able to do every event. I'm not concerned with "winning", I just want to have some fun, meet some cool people and learn how to be a better driver. I do however plan on at least coming up and watching/helping out if I can until May? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Only 8 events count, so you can miss 3 events and your points total for the season won't be affected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRG 4 AutoX Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Correct me if I'm wrong. You don't have to be 18 to race, you just have to have a valid drivers license to race. I did a few events when I was only 16 or 17. Or did I sneak in under the radar because my dad raced in the same car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
