We will permit M rated helmets for non-Advanced/Intermediate drivers.  This differs from our Autocross which are run at slower speeds.   NOTE: You must provide your own helmet.  Some spare helmets are available; or helmets may be rented at the track.  If you drive a fully prepared open car (full roll cage, etc) you are required to use a full-face helmet with the shield in place.  If you drive a coupe or sedan you may wear any style of approved helmet.
