Default Autocross Sunday March 13th

For those in the area there is an autocross at Frackville, PA Sunday with http://www.nepascca.org

It will be FWD, RWD, and AWD classes. I think registration opens at 10am, but check the site to make sure.

Frackville is about 1 hour north of Harrisburg, 30 minutes north of Reading, 1 hour south of Scranton right off I-81.

don't buy one. they should have loaners. buy one once you start going on a regular basis.

umm because if the helmet is too old, they wont let you use it anyways = $50 wasted?

I forget how long they let you use the helmets.. Mike? 7years? or was it 6?

born on date.

i checked there is a certification sticker on every helmet. like SA2000 or SA95 and they are good for 10 years.

If the helmet is missing the sticker or if it fell off, you can't use it.

Good to know.

Thanks. I'll look for that. (Does it matter if its a motor cycle helmet?)


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