2nd time around for this question. do we need to have a "road course" helmet or can we use any type helmet? i have a bad ass street bike helmet,but nothing for road racing.

[Bill Howell]

You have to have a racing style helmet, not a motorcycle helmet. It has to been 2000 rated or newer. Remember a helmet protects your most important part, the ole brain, what is it worth to you. Personally, I want the best I can find.
Next year, most tracks are going to require the 2005 or newer helmets, so I strongly suggest you get one of those if you are in the market for a new one.

Impact testing, auto are tested for multiple impacts, motorcycle are not. You need an SA rated helmet.

All signed up and room reserved. I'm coming up from San Antonio with my '70 Buick GS. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Also motorcycle helmets don't need fire retardant linings.

I see SA2000, SA2005 and SA2010. Is this like a Snell rating that is good for 15 years? Also, is an open face helmet ok as long as it is SA2005 or 2010?

Wish I could do this but there's no way I'll be able to afford a roll cage for the either Camaro anytime soon. I'm literally 20 minutes from the speedway too. Be a lot of fun to figure out just how well the Camaros would handle and my driving ability. Maybe next year....

[dropit69]

im going without a cage..its not required...

[JEFFTATE]

So , say someone has a fullface M-2005 helmet.
Will that be ok . ??

Well in that case I better start scraping up the funds for the registration fee and a helmet. This will be a great way to meet some local guys that I don't see at the local cruise in here in Murfreesboro. If it doesn't work then I'd at least like to watch.

For those of you attending the Bill Howell's RUN TO MUSIC CITY EVENT the Music City Mustang Club will ALSO have their 11th annual OPEN TRACK Event at the Speedway on Friday & Saturday the same weekend as Run To Music City. The Run To Music City event has their autocross on Saturday and Open Track on Sunday.

This would be GREAT WAY to get 3 TOTAL DAYS OF OPEN TRACK TIME if you desire. Why not run the BOTH the Run To Music City Autocross AND the Music City Mustang Open Track event also on Saturday? You can do both since there is a LOT OF WAITING at the autocross. Don't forget you can also OPEN TRACK on Friday for a TOTAL OF 3 DAYS OF OPEN TRACK if you show up early.

Bill, I'm still waiting to see if I can get a cage put in before this. I don't want to loose the registration $ (since its nonrefundable) if the car is down. Can you tell me when you have only 5 spots left?
Thanks again man!

Planning on coming up to watch, my car won't be done in time.
