Hi Everyone,

There have been a few questions about helmets for the autocross, so please note that:

Helmets are required.

As of Wednesday, 4/21/2010, we are working on some loaners, but don't have confirmation just yet if they will be made available.

If you have any spare helmets, please bring them with you on the day of the event!

If you can help us find loaners or have any questions, please let us know.

Take care,
volvie!
