Obviously, I have no time to order one on line so need a local place to pick one up. I would rather purchase a SA rated helmet so want to steer clear of the motorcycle shops. Where in this great city of Houston can I buy a helmet?


Yep I used these guys---> http://www.proamauto.com/ <------- because I wanted to be able to try on the helmet... I was unsure of sizing.

I got a pretty good price and walked out that day with one in hand!!!

David, Give me a call @ 281-667-5566, I got a couple helmets from this year, and you are welcome to use one. Just let me know.

Thanks bro, but I'm going to need a permanant replacement so will just head over to Pro Am tomorrow and grab one. Plus, I have a HUGE head!

Yes, like going tonight and looking at a large house on 2+ acres of land that has a an extra large 3 car garage and a shed in the back with 3 large bay door and a lift already installed. Oh yeah, did I mention that it has a 1200 foot guest house/game room/ mother in law quarters with an elevator :p :p :p

Now get your a$$ over here and bleed the brakes, change the oil and install the short throw shifter :doubt: :doubt:

You're too kind. The truth of the matter is that I bought a car that even an idiot (like me) could drive competantly. It's a very easy car to drive fast and it's one of the most communicative cars I have ever driven so you almost always aren't surprised by how it reacts. The AWD and electronics also get you out of the **** 99% of the time :D. I also have more experience than most others in my run group.

I'll be starting at the bottom again this DE so I doubt our paths will cross on track and, besides, I have something like 250 to the wheels in a 4 door grocery getter that had trouble with a supercharged Mustang GT on the straights at the last DE.

Everyone, make sure you go over the event packet, and get to the track with plenty of time to get situated and attend the drivers meeting at 7:30.

You won't be starting at the bottom, you will be one run group below Jimmy.
:thumbsup:
You might have had trouble with the sc'd gt, but you held your own with plenty of other nice cars.
