yeah its the last one on sunday 1st then theres a week or two before the next rwyb, you only need a helmet if your car can run over 110mph crossing the line, u need a v fast car to do that.

Really? The drag strips i've been to before have required helmets for all classes of car. This surprises me.
I'm hoping to get down to santa pod sometime this year, but cant make it any time soon

yeah thats true at pod, they have the guys at the line and if you ran over 110 terminal they will radio down on your next run you would need to get ur head gear on. If you look on any pod vids not sure how clear the ones above are, if the cars running under 110 terminal nobody will have a helmet on

Sound enough. I thought health and safety would have got involved, like they do with everything else, and make everyone wear them
