How much is it to rent a helmet?

[DriftRPS13]

I think its $5.00 to rent a helmet

Is that for the whole day? Also just had some general questions: Have you been to any of these events and if so, just how strict are the things like tech inspections- for ex: I was reading the tech inspection regulations and it said you have to have matching tires all the way around, perfect tread, etc. So they actually won't let you drive with different front/back rims and tires and with bald tires in the back? Or is that just mostly for the sake of legal paperwork, and they are lenient as long as your car works?
Its just that I don't want to go there and find out I can't drift for some stupid small reason.

its 30 for the times they are running 4pm-8pm and 10am-5pm

and if its anything like last year the tech inspection is non existant, as long as you have a seat belt helmet and you car is leaking anything

That's cool, I'll definetely try to attend and you mean $30 for admission right?, not for the helmet? Also, do you know any place to get a cheap helmet?

I was just looking on the beaverun.com 2005 Even Calendar and only May 22 event is listed there. The calendar doesn't have any of the later dates. Does this mean they only update after each drift event happens?

[DriftRPS13]

They just added the new dates. The website might not be updated yet.

If they let my POS on the track, then anyone can get on there.
It's a good time for all though.

You think they will still let me tear it up when my tires get down to metal and shoot sparks and are falling apart making horrible noises? (That's actually my favorite time to drift- its like me having an lsd and a little more power so I always run my tires to complete destruction).

Look at it this way, you're more likely to get back in if you don't.
I'v eseen guys do it, but the more respectful you are to the track to more likely they'll do it again. Know what I mean?

[FC3slider88]

Does anyone here know if they have a place at the track or somewhere close by where you can get tires mounted onto rims because I will only be able to bring 4 rims besides the ones I am driving on but I might be able to bring more tires. Only having 2 sets of rear tires to go through might not be enough.

I would go with my s14 but I am still waiting for my ka engine and tranny that I got from ebay to be shipped out and then put in. My old ka blew a head gasket but I found a good deal on a rebuilt engine with only 50,000 miles. Too bad it has low compression pistons rods and bearings so now I will have less power and still no lsd
