My first autox event

[Bu11dogg2]

I plan on finally competing August 29th


what do I bring other than:

1. Helmet
2. Sunscreen
3. Water/Food

[jmb1983]

A car

[Bu11dogg2]

good thinking, but not helpful

[AExiOn]

A car


Yes this helps.

Water is a must
Get a cooler, pack it with ice and your good to go

Some clubs have doaner helmets, some dont, but it may be a good idea to bring a snell M or SA rated helmet that was made 10 years or less ago.


and most of all

SunscreenSunscreenSunscreenSunscreenSunscreenSunsc reenSunscreenSunscreenSunscreenSunscreen

also if you bring a hat, or wear a bandana, you may get a nice sun tan on your head... I've been there lol


oh and the entry fee

Maybe an extra quart of oil and pre-mixed coolant just incase

[Bu11dogg2]

my helmet says SNELL4000

any idea what that means?

[SCCNH]

Didn't I write a FAQ?

Check the manufacture date inside the helmet, you may have to dig under one of the pads.

[Bu11dogg2]

yes you did. I'm trying to strike up some interest/conversation

[AExiOn]

Never heard of that rating.. how old is the helmet?

Maybe email the club to see if they will accept it, something tells me no, they like to see an actual Snell M or Snell SA on the helmet its self, on the back of it, or on the inside

[SCCNH]

I know. I'm just busting your balls.

Make sure you air up your tires before you come unless you have a compressor. Easier to let air out than it is to get it back in.

Also, I bring a couple extra helmets with me to events as loaners. The club has 2 loaner helmets as well. Last race I told a young man his helmet was illegal and to grab a loaner, he used his anyway. If I catch that again he's getting the ****ing boot. Illegal helmets can screw us on insurance.

AutoX class August 28th!!!



There is your ticket for a starting class

[Bu11dogg2]

Never heard of that rating.. how old is the helmet?

Maybe email the club to see if they will accept it, something tells me no, they like to see an actual Snell M or Snell SA on the helmet its self, on the back of it, or on the inside

no old at all... maybe 5 years?

+1

Tire gauge, chawk for marking your tires to see tire wear (if your that into it :rofl:)

and walmart special cig adapter tire pump


Blue tape also (painters tape)
Must have that if you want to cover your plate just incase of insurance nazis. Some even use the blue tape to put on their numbers. Though they may give you a paper with printed numbers

[SCCNH]

We don't give you numbers. Painters tape works best but not on a blue car. If you have a blue car get white or red tape, or use painters tape to put on a paper with LARGE numbers on it.

If you pre-register you'll know your number already and can plan ahead.

[AExiOn]

Do you guys get a hot dog stand to come out?

This guy called the dog house comes in his food van

His slogan on his shirt is

"The dog house, it will make your weiner stick up!!"

[SCCNH]

Nope.Some guys bring food, others hit the pizza place right down the road. Brookside pizza (603) 783-4550. Call ahead and they'll be good to go when you get there. They're used to racers as that's the go-to place for eats.
