I'll be there... it'll be my first time!! wooohoo!
So do I need a helmet?
if so, can i rent one there?

[dawgdog]

I'm going as well. You do need a helmet. If you do not have a helmet I believe they have a few loaners.

[IDreamofBimmers]

Anyone planning on running their winter tires that day?
where do/did you buy your helmets?

[BB]

Sounds like fun shit...what exactly do they teach during this clinic? How to drive your car to/at the limit? *counting down until someone says "car control"*

[Getter]

Planning on attending.

[E90ice]

You can read more about it on motorsportreg.com

I still don't have a helmet. I wonder if they have enough to rent.

[Ty Vil]

good chance I will be there.

I went two years ago to Bremerton with the CCA and its great fun and a great learning experience. When I was there, the day consisted of breaking up into four randomly selected groups to rotate between four "stations".

- Emergency braking, ABS + accident avoidance basically
- Handling oval, a small oval "track" set up using cones that you go around practicing braking and turn-in points
- Slalom course
- Skidpad, they bring a truck and wet the track surface and you go around trying to slide and catch the slide

Instructors are in your car during all these exercises. After those are over, they set up two autocross courses and you can go around as many time as you want but are also free to leave. I think we had at least two hours left to do autocross. The instructors drive their own cars as well and you can go solo or ask one of them to ride along with you.

They may have changed things up a bit from when I was there but I doubt it.

Its an awesome day and I highly recommend it. I borrowed a helmet from a friend who does rally racing. They won't have that many spares I think.

Thanks. Now I'm really excited.

Do they check the helmets? I don't think mine is "approved" and I don't want to buy one.

[vAnt826]

Sold out. I tried to reg but its full ;(

[Getter]

Its been full for a couple of weeks. I'm on the standby list with fingers crossed.

[biggerkahuna]

Can't wait!!! Searched on e-bay for a helmet. Found a few but need to go someplace local to verify the size. See y'all there!!!

[IDreamofBimmers]

I JUST now bought one at www.helmetcity.com
I got a pretty good deal... you should check it out once you decide...
I went to Speedware Motorsports in redmond to figure out what size I needed and i got a starter helmet on helmetcity... the HJC CL-15

[IDreamofBimmers]

anyone staying near the track fri night, instead of having an early morning drive?

[IDreamofBimmers]

I had fun!!
Anyone have pics from this event???

[SteelTorque]
