Found it! Was looking under the wrong padding.
It's a m2010, so all good!

So my helmet says that it is SNELL/DOT approved. I can't find any markings on it for the actual SNELL rating.
The Helmet is a HJC CL-16. It's no longer in production, so I can't find manufacture's info. Online retail info says that it meets snell 2010 safety standards.

Will this helmet pass?
Or should I invest in a new one? I have no issues buying a new helmet if it's needed.

Thanks guys!

I think you are correct Zero. I'm picturing a DOT sticker on the back, but I think the snell rating was a factor in the decision when purchasing. I'll have to check it tonight.


I'll have to find some time to read all the rules as well, I'm considering buying a FIA fixed back seat.

Thanks!


I have a HJC Helmet that I've been able to use for all the racing I've done so far, what does SASC require for ratings?
I think mine has a DOT rating? Will have to double check.

Hey guys!

I've been dreaming of owning a track dedicated car for awhile and I finally pulled the trigger on a 2004 Mustang GT not too long ago. It's not in the best shape, but it was cheap and seems to a great starting point. It did come with some modifications, which I'm assuming will bump the class. I'm hoping to keep the car mostly as is for now and focus on seat time, I don't have a ton of racing experience. I'll worry about making the car competitive later.

So I have a lot of learning to do! If someone could point me in the right direction to learn how to start that would be awesome!

I do understand there is a sound limit? The car does have exhaust (x pipe and catback) , it doesn't seem very loud to me compared to my other vehicles. Would I be able to attend an event and see if it passes? If it doesn't then I can address it and come back to the next event?

Over the winter I'm planning on going through the car to make sure it's mechanically sound and safe for the track. I'm also hoping that LSCC car get ICE-X going near Barons this year again, would like to throw some winter tires on and have some fun in the off season.

I'm excited for next season! Hoping to attend lots of events. I also like to do photography (NoPulp Photography), so hopefully I can contribute some photos to the club! I did attend a couple events in 2015 in Fort Macleod to take photos, I think some of those photos were posted on here by a member.

Thanks!
