| I was just wondering, the PCA host a good many of these events and the require you have a Snell helmet, a DOT one wont be allowed. All I have is a DOT helmet. They also have people that do car inspections for many of the following things to allow you to enter. Safety General The addition of safety equipment including but not limited to roll bars, roll cages, fire extinguisher (2.5 lb min. ABC or BC type) with metal bracket mounted to a metal surface and accessible from belted seating position, seat belts/safety harnesses, harness guide bars, steering wheels, aftermarket seat is permitted and recommended. Roll bars are recommended for cabriolets.
No drugs or alcoholic beverages are permitted at the event.
No Passengers are allowed.
An adult must accompany children at all times.
Dogs must be leashed, where permitted.
Helmets All drivers and instructors must wear helmets. Helmets must be Snell ’95 approved or newer (M or SA rated). SA rating is recommended. DOT helmets are not permitted. A limited number of loaner helmets are available for the day. All drivers should invest in their own helmet. Clothing Long sleeve shirts and long pants are suggested. Acceptable fabrics are natural fibers (cotton, wool, silk.) Open toed shoes, sandals and bare feet are not permitted. Rubber soled shoes (sneakers, etc.) are recommended. Driving shoes and gloves as well as fire resistant clothing is recommended but not required. Seat belts All cars must have metal-to-metal seat belts, securely anchored. All drivers must wear belts. Windows The drivers side windows shall remain fully down during a run, passenger windows may be fully up or fully down. Cleaning out your car, glove box and trunk Loose objects inside the trunk, passenger compartment and glove box must be removed from the car. Loose objects include cell phones, change, paper, garbage, cups, floor mats, etc. In other words everything must be removed from your car. The spare tire need not be removed if it is securely fastened. The battery must be securely fastened as well. Pit & Paddock Area All cars are to be parked within the designated pit & paddock area, except for vehicles used by timing, safety, and the Autocross Committee.

| I think this place isnt that strict and wants your money and dont care if you kick the bucket, but if you do.. your in the hospital parking lot [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] and they got love for you, and a big bill. But all jokes aside, I bet there is not many rules other than a helmet. | |

| Nice! I just saw the forecast for Preston County "6-8 inches possible overnight" that is crazy, but on to the topic at hand, I do appreciate the fact that it is in the Hospital parking lot, lol, just need to convince the wife that it is a good idea now. Jdubz is upset that he has to work, he wants to enter his Speed6. | |

| I'm probably not going to go very hard on Foxrod at this event, I don't want to hit a cone and scuff up the paint. I'd probably cry if it got scuffed from a cone :rant: | |

| Wax it up tomorrow.
You won't do any permanent damage on a cone if you have a good coat of polish/wax. | |

It's a black car, dust leaves marks lmao I'm not too worried though if they're small cones, it had 11 coats of clear sprayed on it before I wetsanded it and I've got about 7 coats of wax built up on it. When I start to wax, I wax it once with a cleaner wax, then go back over it twice with a carnauba builder wax using different applicator pads and microfiber towels. | |

That's what I'll be doing, we have this cool clear tape (kinda like packaging tape only not as sticky) but it's meant for doing custom paint work. An instance when you need to see the color your covering so you get get the right shade. Mostly for the color shifting paints. | |

| No, we just didn't get a chance to get a picture of both of them together. And it would be kinda nice to have one before the weather gets really bad. | |

| I hope the snow quits so we have a good turnout.
But as long as the event is on I'll drive. The Evo should feel at home.
I have only had the Sky in the rain 2x, I had the rear break loose on me in a very gentle turn in the rain and decided there's no reason to drive it when it's bad, I have other cars for that. As long as I keep the Sky out of boost it's very predictable, but boost hits at about 2600 RPMs. | |

I would be willing to say thats why they look a million times better than the factory paint. | |

It probably has a little more than 5 coats of clear left. | |
