do you need to wear a crash helmet when your going down the strip?
heard that if you go over 100 mph you will need one?!

From memory Andy i think thats correct

Best take one just in case

 

cheers mate

andy

 

gonna be a bit embarrasing though if you turned up with a crash helmet and
didnt make 100 mph

 

pmsl as soon as ill reach 100 ill slow down if i dont break my diff heard there known 2 break easily there

andy

 

yes you do need one

 

i've done plenty of runs up there in my turbo nova at 110mph and not once have they asked me to wear a helmet.

I expect to crack the 100mph barrier in my NA this weekend and It would be my luck to be asked to wear one

 

think the rules only came in this year mate

 

It's a change of the rules I beleive. Anything that cracks a 100mph terminal the driver will need to wear a helmet on the subsequent runs. If you have one take it with you and use it. Only have one head after all

 

i've been up there this year running past 100, my mate was up there in quite a noticeable car running well past 100 and he got no bother,

tbh on a big day like sunday I wouldn;t risk it and if u have one I would take it,

I just borrowed my mates bike helmet again, atleast I'll have one if I do get collared about it...... thats if I dont blow mine on the rollers on sat

 

they are suppose to be really enforcing it this year, and can send you away dont let it spoil ur day

 

IIRC reading somewhere it has always been the rules but hasn't been enforced before but they will be this year.

they should put seat belts on the motorbikes
