I guess worse case scenario I can always wear a bandana underneath a loaner. :happysad:

most autox places will allow M rated helmets as well

I forget how long they let you use the helmets.. Mike? 7years? or was it 6?
I think the legal helmets now are SA95 or M95. Not perfectly sure though. Yes there is a sticker underneath the padding that will say what SA/M number it is. I wouldn't get get anything pre=SA95 or M95. Cause it will be outdated in a year or two.

I would just use the loaner helmets most regions provide. Plus you are near Paramus, I think the closest region is NYR at Nasau Coliseum or M Club at Giant's stadium. I've been to the later and they make fun courses and you should see some of the cars that show up = $$$ but they are ot very newbie friendly.

lol yeah that must be it! No, my mom even drove it today and said it's going to need some loving this year. I'm thinking about doing the OEM H&R .75 lowering springs with just the KYB GR-2 non-adjustables, because I'm not looking to make the car great, just a little more fun than stock (and I really don't need adjustables).

And probably sway bars while I'm at it. h:
