What you need to bring.
A helmet is good, but we can provide loaners also. Helmet must be SNELL 1995 or newer per label on it.

Sun screen. Sunglasses. Hat.
Driving shoes?

Car should be "race ready" for technical inspection. Enough air in tires. Check your lug nuts. Make sure your battery is mounted well. Remove loose items from inside the car and from inside the boot. Tape up anything you want to tape. We recommend the blue painters tape for that.

The motorcycle helmet should be fine.

Rain means we run in the rain. That is actually fun. We would only cancel for lightning or if it was really really bad. Which does not happen often in SoCal. I predict perfect weather.

Randy, how many runs do you think a single driver might get?

Also, anybody willing to let me co-drive their car?

Stars are for people that want to pay to not work.

CountD... probably 15 runs? 20? Hard to say. Its all about the math.

Car every 30 seconds means 2 cars per minute or 120 runs per hour. Times 8 hours would be 960 runs, divide up by 60 drivers would be 16. But some drivers will drop out early so harder core people will get more runs.

Hiring someone to run after cones for you doesn't mean you get to drive during that time. You still only get to drive during your groups drive time.
