HELMETS ARE REQUIRED FOR AUTOCROSS AND DRAG RACING. If a helmet is used, it must meet Snell, rated SA orM 2010, 2015, or 2020 with a visible SFI tag inside the helmet. Please bring a helmet with you on the Tour if you areplanning to participate in the Autocross or drag racing events.Motorcycle or DOT helmets are not allowed under any circumstances.
^^^^^^ DOT approved for motorcicles, but NOT SNELL approved
DOT and SNELL M2020The SNELL Memorial Foundation is still largely considered the gold standard for helmet safety. SNELL M2020 certification uses the most aggressive anvil profile, known as an edge anvil, and demands a ridiculously low 275 g maximum energy transfer after two blows. SNELL testing is designed with the energy levels and safety requirements of the racetrack in mind, and this is reflected in the additional testing for characteristics such as stability and ease of removal in an emergency. SNELL technicians look for the weakest point in the helmet and target that point when testing. Technicians will strike multiple locations, testing until they are satisfied an accurate indication of the helmet’s energy-management ability has been attained. Also listed as SNELL M2020D.

Yeah but she’ll be like Michael Jordan, he made more on endorsement deals than he ever did playing basketball. She’s already been offered her own shoe line too. She’ll be just fine

Steering box locked up?That's awesome
no locked up, just crazy tight... also just learned that steering boxes are made to be a bit tighter when near center than when at the ends of travel since they spend more of their lives in that range.... didn't know that..

My steering box is manual and is, if I remember right 24:1 and the standard is 16:1. Works great for this old fart.
They were good! Game tied at halftime.

I looked at Bell Helmets lineup, they still have an open face helmet SNELL approved. Not all full face helmets are SNELL approved. They gotta have that sticker inside to keep the tech guys happy. My Bell Magnum open face was SNELL in the 70s and with Malcolm Smith's accessories I was able to put a snap on chin guard to keep them rocks that the Unlimited 4X4s liked to throw outa my teeth, for the most part

Malcolm had many talents other than just motorcycling. His single seat buggy threw rocks at us on more than one occasion

He always had the big smile on his face. Remember, On Any Sundy. I was one of the first at the movie theater when the movie came out. Would like to see it again.Malcolm had many talents other than just motorcycling. His single seat buggy threw rocks at us on more than one occasion

I was pumpin' gas into this white 3/4 ton van one afternoon. Just happened to look in the back window, there sits a Harley XR750 dirt tracker. Look a little further and it has a big #1 on the number plates. I look up the side of the van into the rear view mirror
F%^& ME! THAT'S MERT LAWELL! It was like the day after the AMA Sacramento Mile and he was headin' east to the next race.
We are ahead. Keep it going gals!
