We stay at Freebirds til 9 or 10 usually.

Lots of guys come directly from work since the meeting is neartown.

Yes. Helmets are required and not an option.

I'm 6'3" and it doesn't work for me. Perhaps my torso is longer? I tried sitting in my car with my motorcycle helmet on and I had to tilt my head to even fit. I suppose I could lean the seat back a bit more, but that'd make for a lousy driving position. I've never understood the helmet requirement for autocross... Driving to work everyday is far more dangerous.

- Insurance purposes. In truth some cars would probably be ok, while others wouldn't, but you can't really have volunteer make that decision. Therefore a blanket policy must be in effect.

i was having the problem as ross, the top of my helmet was touching the roof of my car. I had to put the seat down to feel comfortable.
