Laugh all you want, brain buckets help keep you speaking in full sentences...even breathing.
It's track by track...obviously. Mine here just stopped letting verts go at all, even on t and t night. (figures, right as I got mine, but the mach has a solid top
)
2 cars locked in by k-rails slightly wider than 2 lanes...plenty of schmuck teens with licenses who's lamination is still wet ready to line up right next to you.....thinking helmet not a bad idea.
When I tried the track for the first time I didn't wear one, but then, I was driving a car that was lucky to hit 17's (hey, it was consistant, even if I wasn't) so most who lined up next to me were so far gone that I didn't have to worry bout them.
Matt, as far as that "waiver" is concerned, I'll tell you right now that if a track is being operated in a reckless manner (rules?, what rules? sign here...) any dimestore lawyer will shred it in court and the track owners know it. At least the smart ones do. I suspect that's why verts were finally black listed at our local.

We also allow verts at our track. There are rules to go by. Like I said earlier, if you run in the 10s you have to have a cage. If you don't you get sent home.
Also, this is ONLY on test and tune nights.

Yes all tracks do require helmets but it depends on the track and what you run in the 1/4. At New England Dragway in Epping, NH if your car runs quicker then 13.99 then you need a helmet. Anything slower then that you dont need 1.
