No problem, it did change after the schedule was put out.

 

Yes 7/24 is a normal event. Also 7/3 is a normal event with NESCC ( a division of NER :-) ) See www.NESCC.org for details.

NESCC is basicaly run by the same people as NER, they have just shuffled the jobs around.

They generally have a slightly lower turn out, so sometimes there is more runs. There is no novice class so you would have to run in open class. There is a pro class so most of the top people run there so you wont be competing against KC. :-)

They also have a pro challenge where the top 8 pro drivers compete to wil the pro class. Plus there is an open challenge where they take the top 8 open class winners to compete. Basically each of the 8 competeing take a run, and the top 4 move on, they run again and the top 2 move on, then they run one more time for the winner. So it adds something interesting in the middle of the day.

 

Nice guys, saw a lot of RX-8s in the results, way to represent!

Nice vid Noel, see you got yourself a VooDoo ****, sweet! You guys have got to come out and do/see a track day at NHIS. I promise I'll do an autocross if you guys do a track day!

BTW, I need to buy a helmet, any suggestions of comfortable ones that allow me to breathe?

 

Since you brought that up... well, I did ran on NHIS on 6/6! So now the ball is in your court to do an autox run :D

I'm looking for a helmet too and I'm contemplating between a G-force G750 or a HJC CL-14. Both are claimed to be eyeglass friendly and the HJC has adjustable air vents. Both are under $200 but the decision is basically between open-face or not. I'm not sure whether they're comfortable or not but I'm taking the risk and will be ordering one of them online.

 

What does the suffix 'm' on the Pos. number mean?

BTW, it's good to see other novice RX-8 drivers so that there's a reasonable benchmark to measure up against.

 

I will do a track event eventually....I need some stuff first....some spare wheels, a helmet, maybe some better tires....

 

Member. We need that to keep track of season points for the year end championship.

I got my helmet from HMS Motorsport. They are somewhat local. You should drive there and try them all on. Seriously, I hated most of them. Everyone's head is different. If you plan to venture beyond AutoX, I think full-face is a lot safer.

I tried Bell- it was tight as hell around the crown of my head, and loose everywhere else. The G-Force felt ALMOST right. I ended up getting a Bieffe. It is living hell getting it on and off, but once on its nice, and I feel safest in it due to the snug fit all around my head.

Yes, my head is fat. :o

 

If you plan on doing track days, you'll need a Snell SA rated helmet. If only auto-x... Snell M rated is fine.
