It's Official! Outdoor Karting at CVMP 8/21/2010

all i have is a mx with a floppy ass vizor and i have goggles…should this work? what other gear is needed, sorry i just jumped in here im not about to go read 4 pages

Anything DOT-legal should be fine, no? An MX-style helmet with goggles should suffice?

Even if it’s not snell?

SINGH and Archie… you have a PM.

:thumbup

yeah an MX helmet and googles has got to be fine. They saved my mellon when I wacked a tree last year on the bike!

Do we need to bring our own helmet or do they have stuff there that we can use?

Bring your own helmet… Even if it’s not full face, they may let you use it.

Worst case you will just have to use one of the rental ones there. If you have one, bring it though as we have a big group and the less we have to borrow the better.

But if you need one, they’ll have it.

I’ll update the main thread this evening what you need to bring and final details for Saturday- just on a trip right now so not checking in a whole lot here sorry.

Will also PM everyone on the attendee list with this stuff so you will hear from me.

Last update- Joe from the track tried to pull a fast one on me, telling me there is another group coming at 2 PM but I straightened it out with him saying we were promised the entire track for 50 laps for our whole group.

So basically he has promised to move that group until after 4 PM to honor the arrangement we have been discussing for a couple months now.

Since there will be 3 run groups I’m thinking we will go 11 AM to 4 PM at the least to get everyone in.

Am thinking to meet even earlier if we can to get to the track before 11 AM. We’ll need to make a quick stop for food / brunch on the way as I think we should skip a sit down lunch to maximize track time.

Kk just wondering as I don’t have any type of helmet to that I could bring
