Yes, I have been to a number of the events at Gainesville (I assume that is what a DE is).
I have a SA2000 helmet, but what I don't yet have are the arm restraints. I'm also ordering a neck support.
Here is Ed's list. He is in Jamaca right now basking in the sun. He won't be back until next Monday.
Short list of requirements:
1) Cotton or fire resistant long sleeve clothing, neck brace, arm restraints and fire extinguisher are mandatory. Fire suit is recommended. SA-95 rated helmet or newer. Snell or DOT rating insufficient.
2) This next one falls under the “Duh” category. Check for loose bolts, nuts, etc and tighten them, be sure to inspect tires, brakes and all fluids. Grease all bearings and fittings, etc. Again I will mention this event is 24 hours of track time… BRUTAL!
3)
Oil drain plug must be safety wired or at a minimum taped in place. Double check all fittings!
4) No radiator coolant other than water and or water with wetter. No
antifreeze!
5) Car number, meatball or tape.
6) Upgraded brake fluid and pads are also recommended to enhance your enjoyment.
Thanks,
Robert
