In Nor Cal Shelby club there are several businesses that are friend s of the club that will perform a tech inspection for you. In fact, it's required for track time.

Is a shoulder belt required and or reccomended for an event like this? Also what tire pressures are run on the track with Goodyear Billboards.

Sal,
Forget the billboards and get yourself a decent set of street tires for your first time out, take things real, real, real slow or your car will bite you in more than your assets. Shoulder belts ARE REQUIRED if you know what is good for you, along with a Snell SA2005/SA2007 rated full face helmet (properly fit and not purchased over the web). Might even consider a decent two piece single or double layer fire suit. If you must be like "the others", and must run Goodyear Billboards, then I suggest starting out with them at 27.5 cold in the front and 24psi cold in the rear andchecking your temps across the width of the tire after your first few laps. Adjust as needed to achieve an even temp reading across the width of the tire (check all four) and then mark down what the PSI is once cool and you'll have it set for the next time out.
Bill S.

Yes...use the shoulder belts and consider an anti-sub (ie., 5 point).
Use the Billboards, but certainly not with as much pressure as Bill's suggesting. I run about 23 up front and 20 out back. You could start off with 24 all the way around and see if you like it...it'll probably be just fine for the first time. Forget phuking with tire temps and playing with the pressures too much. Just go out and drive well within your comfort level and enjoy it.
Brake straight!
Sal...you'll be fine.
