Yea they got rules for safety items as your time gets lower. break into the 13s and you have to wear a helmet.... never gotten past the 13s (hopefully this weekend, if I can afford to even go) so don't know the rest of 'em. I never actually wear the helmet though.. I just keep it in the car.

Matter of fact last time I went I didn't bring mine... so some chick in a 13 sec M3 Roadster let me borrow hers...needless to say her head was way smaller than mine. She was cool as hell though.

you don't HAVE to warm them up. i am beginning to advise slipping the clutch..... so that you don't break anything. unfortunately i have to do the same if i expect to drive to and from the track

Yea, that's one thing that scares me too.. breaking something.. like an axle.. but if you just start slipping the clutch instead of dropping the clutch, there will be more wear on your clutch.. espically if you have an OEM clutch. right?
