And as far as the shoes go, i just wore regular leather loafers and they didn't care.

      Not to goad you into going tho. And I totally understand, that on top of the costs, you have a new build--if it were me I would want to take it slow to shake down the car before time trails on track. But if it really is helmet and gloves, that can be solved I'm guessing. But if you're not feeling it, don't do it--there's always next year (that's what I'm prepping my car for). Last time I goaded someone into going to a track day with me he put his car in the wall.



      Also add to your safety budget plans, a hans device if you're going to do track days. No reason not to. I recommend the Necksgen--can't even tell you're wearing it when driving. Totally worth it-esp in old cars with no airbags. You have a 5 point right?
      Ya I am sure I can find someone local with a helmet but I would rather not. Im just going to pass on this one. I still have a couple little things to finish up anyways and my weekends are screwed for the next couple of weeks.

      I already have good shoes and a jacket. Just need gloves, a helmet and the hans to be safe. My belts are 5 points but I only have 4 hooked up. I never put the tab in the floor for the 5th one.... Not the end of the world, just a lot of work.

      On a side note, I did find time to do an alignment last night. Rear was still perfect but front was a tad off since I made new arms and lifted it a little. Should have time to put a few miles on it tonight to see if it feels different.
