  They are an NHRA track, so I am assuming helmets would only be
required for 13.99 or faster. Ok, just found the info on their
web site - yep, that is correct, 13.99 or faster requires a helmet
(except for motorcycles and dune buggies which require a helmet
all of the time). As usual, long pants are also required. For
anyone who might be interested you can check out the rules in their
FAQ at http://www.bandimere.com/free/race_faq.php

  I'm really tempted to run the rental Jeep, but I don't know how
well that would work since I'd have to run the bracket racing,
so I can't exactly be parked out in the staging lanes when people
are trying to give me their dial-ins. :-) Oh well, its not a
biggie, it'll be fun to race vicariously through everybody else. :-)
