What an awesome day it was, full of adventures and experience!

You know davis you really didn't have to buy a helmet for that class

... I took the same class at Cerritos College back in 1999 when I took my MSF course. I guess its pretty good to have your own helmet coz u dont want other people's sweat on them old ones... I brought a full face mask tho when I used theirs similar to those ski mask.

Good luck with the class... Advice? "Target fixation" Look where you want to turn

Davis · 12-16-2008, 01:08 PM

Mark, I don't have money for it. >_<

mr.asian.m2 · 12-16-2008, 01:13 PM

safety come first davis. get some money from mark

well, guys...i'm going out to have lunch with all the main guys on texas mr2. and we're going to talk about the cal and texas meet and see how well we can plan this. if we can get about 50 plus mr2 out there. it be a great meet. and if this one go well. we can do this once a year?

Mark_Dorman · 12-16-2008, 01:53 PM

^Agreed...It'll be a struggle to get more than 25 from down here but I think we could muster 50+ from all 4 states. Let us know how it goes.

Davis...if you don't have the money for safety equipment you shouldn't be buying a bike...

Davis · 12-16-2008, 02:45 PM

But I like Icon stuff.

and I don't have money for an expensive helmet....yet.

Mark_Dorman · 12-16-2008, 03:01 PM

I think motorcycle helmet and car helmet has a different DOT/SNELL requirement. Not sure if you can use your motorcycle helmet to do Autocross.

Icons are not bad.. Jason Britton is sponsored by them. I think its OK... Just know your limits... Other than that, watch out for the rest (drivers)

Mark_Dorman · 12-16-2008, 03:32 PM

^That's true to a point. It's dangerous no matter what. Get the gear and then the bike...

masagsxr · 12-16-2008, 03:46 PM
