I would recommend against purchasing a helmet from that eBay site. I just received mine from that site and ordered an XL that would be better fit for a 8 year old.

Helmets are something you should prooooobably try on and buy in person, but to save a few bucks you can't be the internetz....
In other news, is everyone all set for sunday??? Remember you should probably get there around 7:00 AM. It takes a while to get your car and everything set, then you have to do tech inspection BEFORE 8 and there's sometimes a line, and be ready for mandatory driver's meeting at 8AM sharp.
SCHEDULE (scroll down to page 3, sunday): http://www.emraracing.org/forms/njmp_july_lightning.pdf
It looks like we're going to get a lot of track time, they have 5 sessions scheduled per group, which is the most I've seen.

On another note, I got my video cam hooked up, it's pretty sweet. Also, I'm bringing a dSLR so we should take some nice pics....
Last thing, definitely look over some video of the track to get a feel for the line, instead of spending your first dozen laps doing so.... This guy's a fine example ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfyeqK2AeOo )
See everyone on sunday....

So basically I have a few photos but they are stuck on a compact flash card because it was a somewhat old camera and I lost the cable. And nothing has CF slots anymore lol....so I have to go to kinko's or something....
