I was figuring on just gloves and helmet. I assume that should be fine for an instruction day????

Thanks for any input.

Also should I get my tech inspection before the day, or do they require it to be done by the track?
Helmets are usually cheaper online, but you won't get a chance to try 'em on, which is pretty important. I know the local motorcycle places (like Michael's on S. Virginia) have a pretty big selection, but rarely do they have SA2000 rated helmets... so if you're looking for something that you can use for road racing, you probably want to skip the motorcycle shops.

Tech inspection will be at the track the morning of the event. MattR and I (and any other people that have saftey steward type training) will be conducting the inspections. The inspection will be very similar to the inspections given before AutoX events. After you pass inspection, you will receive your class letter, and a number if you didn't bring your own number.
