Those of you buying open face helmets. Remember if you want to do the karting league in the winter time out by Allsports GP, you might want to consider a full face. Or be prepared to taste rubber (ask me how I know). I also benefit from my full face at HPDEs. Especially when the wind is strong from the side and a lot of dust gets kicked up. You dont want stuff in your eyes coming into the braking zone for turn 1 (or any turn for that matter). And then you also have the advertised reasons for getting a full face helmet..

Just my two cents after I ended up buying two helmets.

Agreed, but at the same time, for a n00bie, getting into a helmet for under $100 while they (and I) make sure that this is a hobby for them (as opposed to a whim) is a lot cheaper than ~$300 for an SA rated full-face. If I get 2 seasons in with this helmet, then I will spring for an SA full-face, and will have only "wasted" about $60. Not bad, IMO.

Happy day after the 4th of July!

I've attached a current registration list to this post. As you see, we're really down on participants, so tell your friends to register!

clearly george bauer is tired of losing so he's not signed up in the M-donkey.

I won't be able to attend this one either, I will be at a wedding for my wife's cousin, at 11am, in Delaware...followed by a DRY reception. Soo...um...yeah.

Biggins would have beat me anyway. He owns the summit point slick track!

glenn is coming! oh dear

May I suggest that "down on participants" offers us a gift. Extra runs. Bump up the start time for the fun runs. Let's hurry though our "official 4" runs and then let the action begin. Drivers' meeting for the PM session will include getting commitments to stay on and help with the extra runs. INSIST that folks stay on to help with flagging and taking down the set, but the bottom line is: more runs for those of us that show up!!!

^^ definitely....5-6 runs for the PM session

Actually Jim, if we don't have enough participants the club loses money - losing money means less events.

Remember that fun runs are a LUXURY and not a given.

Perhaps instead of calling them fun runs, we can call them "Autox Bailout Runs" and charge $1 a run, $5 a cone.

I can't afford $5 per cone. I'd be $100+ per run for me

Ok...$2 a cone? That's actually not a bad idea...quite amusing from my perspective anyway. Not so sure about you guys though...

How many attended the last Summit AutoX?

I think it was over 100...Bring more people!

How many attended the last Summit AutoX?

111 @ our first event, 92 @ the second.

We need 120+ to have enough course workers / instructors ...
