Q. When do I need to wear a helmet?
A. All racers are encouraged to wear a helmet in competition. Current NHRA rules require all racers, excluding motorcycles, running an elapsed time of 13.99 seconds or quicker must wear a helmet. Motorcycle riders must always wear a helmet. Helmets must meet Snell 2005 or new guidelines.

So yeah ... pretty much everyone needs a helmet there ... I would be down to go but I still need to pick up a helmet

[zero2sixtyZ]

You'll get one run in without one, but after you break the 13.99 mark, they will require you to have one. So yes, pretty much everyone should have one.

Also...keep in mind helmets do expire, and they will check DOT and Snell, I ended up buying a new one last season do to mine being expire which was from 2001. They have them at the track reasonable price for IIRC 179$....also I will be there, I live 10min away

Im in! Weather permitting of course... you can sign up for text alerts from New England Dragway so you know if its canned due to rain or not (links on their website). Ive missed about 4 weeks this summer due to rain.... Lets hope sept 17 is clear and cool.

[PoloGrnC4]

My son and I enjoy these.. See you there.

[MilkThistle]

I was actually just there on Friday night and had a great time. My best time was 13.759 @ 105.27 mph on my worn out runflat tires. I ran four times and no one said anything about me not wearing a helmet. Almost everyone else there had one tho.

I was really suprised how many other e9x 335 were there. I counted four including myself.

[zero2sixtyZ]

Sounds like a good start to the list... Bump.

[Torgus]

I will be there.

I'll probably buy a helmet when I am there assuming I can break out of the 14s...Hopefully some M3s will show up. I have yet to run one.

[2Times]

I'll likely go to run and take pics. Good thing I kept my helmet when I sold my motorcycle

[Welterweight]

Will a bike helmet work? I could borrow one!

Haha guess I'm spoiled having the e85 station 5 min away, it def makes a big difference.

They really are so far and few between though and in NH nothing.

There is barely anything in MA. I'd kill for one in my town.
