Feel the burn, My first AX Options

[peridotian]

So my 19 year old son and I will be trekking down to Marina on Sunday and I am nervous (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) because:
1. I have never driven in an AX
2. Neither has my son and he has barely driven a stick
3. I do not have a helmet
4. My accelerator pedal sticks at WOT sometimes
5. I am sure that we will be the slowest car in the field

So as I am cleaning up and tuning the car Saturday, I will take the kid out for several runs around town and let him grind off a few more teeth on my tranny, check my battery hold down, and maybe buy a helmet.

Is there a prize for worst time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) of the day?

Demick probably mentioned that there will be loaner helmets at the LPR event.

I'd recommend using one of LPR's this week. While your at the event you can talk to people about where they got their helmet and source one (or two) later.

On the other hand Frey's racing (going out of business) in Fremont (510 651-3739) should be a good source and of course the racers shop at Sears Point typically has a good selection.

Given that most good helmets are pricy I'd do a little sourcing at LPR first.
